Trial Funding
& Registration
Register your interest for the upcoming research trials and find out more about the associated funding.
This page will be regularly updated with the latest trials and funding information.
Funding Overview
Local Areas or Providers that sign up to a Multiply Education Research Trial are eligible to receive funding based on the number of learners and the number of additional guided learning hours per trial.
By taking part, Local Areas or Providers will be randomly allocated to a treatment (delivering something new) or control (business as usual) group. If you are in the treatment group, it will be an opportunity to deliver something innovative that has potential to improve results for learners. If you are in the control group, you will continue to deliver your business-as-usual curriculum. Both groups are vital to the research and you will receive payment for being involved.
