A team from Sheffield Hallam University was appointed in May 2017 to carry out an
evaluation of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) between June and
December 2017. This research has two pre-determined aims and two objectives.
Aims
1. Evaluate the impact and current relevance of the NTFS across the sector, including in
relation to those institutions that have not participated in the scheme.
2. Inform decisions on the future format of the scheme, including the approach to its
financing.
Objectives
1. To establish the extent to which the NTFS has achieved its aims across the higher
education (HE) sector in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
2. To set out considerations and options for funders with regard to the format of the scheme,
approach to delivery and its funding in the new regulatory regime
