Nesta: research and evaluation partner for the creative business mentor network

The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts invites applications to tender for a research and evaluation partner for the creative business mentor network.

The aim is to understand the impact of mentoring on a creative business and to gain a better understanding of the different levels of appropriate support creative businesses need to grow. The partner will be responsible for designing and delivering an evaluation of the mentor programme. In addition to evaluating the impact of mentoring, the research partner is expected to conduct a wider piece of research looking at types of support for creative businesses, behavioural research on the needs of creative business leaders and appropriate levels of support, applied at key stages of a growing creative business life cycle.
