Demonstration Project Funding
What funders want to see
| Element | Typical expectation |
|---|---|
| Novelty | Something not already deployed at scale |
| Measurable outcome | Baseline plus post-implementation data |
| Reproducibility | A route for others to follow |
| Partnership | A user willing to host the demonstration |
| Documentation | Report, data and lessons learned |
Practical advice
- Choose a host site with a real problem, not just enthusiasm.
- Agree what data will be collected before you start.
- Plan the reporting effort; it is part of the deliverable.
Funding conditions differ by programme. Read the current call documents carefully.
