The Practitioner Resource Grants Program is intended to fund a variety of resources, such as:
- guidelines
- manuals
- activities
- surveys and instruments
- explainers
- practice guides
- procedures
- digital resources
- evaluation plans
- data matrices
- learning modules.
It is envisaged that funded resources will impact one or more elements of the student lifecycle—from pre-access activities through to attainment and transition out initiatives.
The program is focused on funding proposals that do one or more of the following:
- Produce resources that can be readily adopted by other universities.
- Ensure that resources draw on the existing practice knowledge base on equity issues in Australian higher education, building on previous work undertaken or funded by ACSES (and formerly the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education or NCSEHE).
- Ensure that resources can be applied at the national level and/or enable outcomes that are potentially portable across institutions and scalable across Australian higher education equity practice.
The proposed resource must include an evaluable element, that is information and direction on how institutions adopting the resource can evaluate its efficacy, in reference to the Student Equity in Higher Education Evaluation Framework (SEHEEF).
