We are a partnership between  \nUCL and the Universities of Cambridge, Manchester, Northumbria and Nottingham in collaboration with the Government Office for Science, the Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology, Nesta and the Transforming Evidence Hub.  \nThis scoping template has been developed from CAPE’s original project scope template used throughout the CAPE project from 2020-2024. We have used our practice-based learning to create a more mature and comprehensive template that is usable for different types of collaborative and co-produced projects or partnerships.  \nAs noted in the template, it is important to reiterate that CAPE was primarily a demandled project, meaning that we created projects collaboratively with policy partners guided by the priorities of the policy partner. Sometimes we created projects to help unearth these priorities together. This explains why policy need features first and foremost in this template.  \nThe scoping template itself was co-developed between CAPE and our policy partners, and we have gathered feedback widely across CAPE project staff.  \nAuthors  \nLead authors: Robyn Parker, Olivia Stevenson Contributors: Sarah Chaytor, Amy Beckett, Kayleigh Renberg-Fawcett, Jenny Hasenfuss  \nWe would like to recognise and express gratitude in particular for the learning experiences from the CAPE Coordination team whose work with our policy partners has underpinned the development of this resource.  \nAcknowledgements  \nWe are grateful to the following people for their participation in CAPE projects and review of this template: Please note that roles and employer details refer to positions held at the time of network membership and may have since changed.  \nJo Foreman, Government Office for Science (GO-Science)  \nSarah Steiner, Government Office for Science (GO-Science)  \nNoel Hatch, London Borough of Newham  \nLaura Koch, Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities & CAPE Policy Fellow  \nStephen Meek, Nottingham Institute for Policy and Engagement  \nMichelle Reeves, Greater London Authority & CAPE Policy Fellow  \nBen Hepworth, Ministry of Justice  \nCAPE Developing partnerships & projects between universities and policy partners: a project scope template  \n3  \nContents  \n| How this template has been created | 2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| Authors | 2 |\n| Acknowledgements | 2 |\n| Introduction | 4 |\n| Who is this project scope template for? | 5 |\n| How to use this template | 5 |\n| Partnership / Project scoping template | 6 |\n\nCAPE Developing partnerships & projects between universities and policy partners: a project scope template  \n4  \nIntroduction  \nWhen CAPE started in 2020, we approached engagement with our policy partners using a very simple ‘project scope template’, with a short summary, aims, proposed activities for the work, and anticipated outputs. At that point it was little more than headings on a word document. Since then, we’ve worked through our original scoping document with multiple policy partners at different governmental levels, developed a Theory of Change, and learnt alot about project development at scale and working collaboratively. When we started to consider sharing our original project scope as a sector resource, we recognised the opportunity to produce something far more comprehensive drawing upon this learning that speaks to both how universities and policy partners can get the most out of engaging with one another.  \nBetween 2020-2023, the academic policy landscape in the UK has also changed significantly, with multiple other projects and university policy units emerging or developing, alon","cbCaibL76HFJhgl7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibL76HFJhgl7","pdf",573480,20,"English","# How this template has been created\n# Authors\n# Acknowledgements\n# Introduction\n# Who is this project scope template for?\n# How to use this template\n# Partnership / Project scoping template","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CAPE project scope template?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a structured starting point for planning and initiating collaborations between universities and policy organisations in a thoughtful, strategic way.\"},{\"question\":\"How does CAPE’s demand-led approach shape the template?\",\"answer\":\"The template starts from policy partner needs and priorities, and encourages thinking about purpose and outcomes before designing activities.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the template designed for?\",\"answer\":\"It is intended for people looking to co-produce and co-develop projects between academia and policy, including those planning more strategic academic policy engagement.\"}]","Developing partnerships & projects between universities and policy partners - a project scope template | PDF",1789157098,7]
