Leading Healthcare Providers (LHP) Skillnet is seeking to partner with a suitably qualified organisation to undertake an independent longitudinal impact and evaluation study of the Nursing Home Leadership Education and Development (NH-LEAD) Initiative. Funded by the Department of Health, the NH-LEAD Initiative has been established to strengthen leadership, governance and management capability across Ireland's nursing home sector through the provision of accredited postgraduate education. The purpose of this procurement is to appoint an experienced research organisation to design and deliver a comprehensive mixed-methods evaluation of the initiative over its duration. The successful tenderer will be required to develop an evaluation framework and undertake a longitudinal study incorporating quantitative and qualitative research methods, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, stakeholder consultation, documentary review and other appropriate evaluation approaches. The evaluation should assess the implementation, effectiveness and impact of the initiative at learner, organisational and sectoral levels, providing robust evidence to inform future policy, programme development and investment in leadership education within the long-term residential care sector. Established in January 2008, Leading Healthcare Providers (LHP) Skillnet is a not-for-profit Learning Network co-funded by Skillnet Ireland and our member companies. Skillnet Ireland is funded through the National Training Fund by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. Of the 70+ Skillnet Ireland Learning Networks, LHP Skillnet is the only Network dedicated exclusively to supporting the private healthcare sector. We do this through the provision of high-quality, sector-led, subsidised training, education, research and workforce development. Skillnet Ireland, on behalf of LHP Skillnet, has been awarded a contract by the Department of Health to deliver the Nursing Home Leadership Education and Development (NH-LEAD) Initiative. The successful tenderer will be responsible for project mobilisation, baseline data collection, ongoing evaluation, interim reporting and a final impact evaluation. The study should examine the extent to which the initiative strengthens leadership capability, supports improvements in governance, quality improvement and regulatory preparedness, and contributes to improved organisational performance, workforce capability and resident outcomes within nursing homes. The evaluation should also identify barriers and enablers to successful implementation and provide practical recommendations to support the future development of the initiative.

Department of Culture Communications SportKillarneyCreative Ireland is holding an open grant call for funding of approximately 10-15 Creative Climate Action projects lasting three years (36-month period) from 2026 to 2029. The successful grantees will likely include institutions and organisations with capacity to deliver large-scale projects, such as national cultural, climate and community organisations, NGOs, businesses, local authorities, networks and academic institutions working in the intersection of climate action, adaptation and creativity. There will be a focus on inter-disciplinary teams that include community partners, climate scientists, evaluators, and creative practitioners. The total value of grant funding is €6.5 million. A comprehensive, independent evaluation of the Creative Climate Action Fund III (2026-2029) initiative will provide an invaluable evidence-base to demonstrate to policymakers and funding Departments the impact and value of the initiative and its scalability. There is growing acknowledgement amongst policymakers that narrow macroeconomic measures like GDP do not capture the full range of citizens’ lived experiences. A sole focus on indicators like GDP can lead to other aspects of life – particularly those that cannot be easily assigned a monetary value, such as wellbeing, social inclusion and just transition – being undervalued. It is important that the final research equally balances both elements. It is envisaged that the process of the research will include, but not be limited to: * Coordination of 10-15 embedded evaluators at project level. The grantees are required to have an embedded evaluator in place at the beginning of the project. The successful tenderer is expected to develop a community of practice of the embedded evaluators group via 3-4 meetings per year to ensure a consistent approach to evaluation at project level. * Leading a workshop around evaluation methodologies and support in clarifying project outputs and outcomes for the embedded evaluators in 2026. * RegularEvidence reviews for the European Commission Initiatives on cancer screening and care

NorecFØRDEDeadline: Aug 21This evaluation focuses on outcomes and impacts in the energy sector, assessing the causal logic linking energy support to wider civilian outcomes within the Nansen Program Theory of Change, contribution pathways, cross-sector interactions, unintended effects, and the conditions under which different approaches may be sustained or expanded. Understanding how energy investments translate into broader resilience outcomes, and how they interact with Norwegian donor mechanisms and other portfolio elements, is essential for prioritization and resource allocation. Furthermore, since maintaining short-term system stability, protecting civilians, and advancing longer-term transition goals do not always align perfectly, the resulting trade-offs are central to understanding programming choices and outcomes. The evaluation covers the civilian component of the Nansen Support Program from its inception in February 2023 through July 2026.Request for The provision of Communications and Public Relations Services for Strategic Marketing of the MicroCreds.ie Portal and the Micro-credential Learner Fee Subsidy in 2026
