Agencies & Organizations

Describe the community, problem and intended outcome. Explain how the proposal relates to the organization’s remit and who should be involved in defining success.

Avoid substituting broad reach claims for a specific account of the people and needs the activity would serve.

A proposal might involve scientific explanation, educational design or an evidence-led public activity. Match the format to the audience’s context and resources.

Use original sources for factual claims and distinguish evidence from advocacy or organizational preference.

Identify responsible contacts, safeguarding, accessibility, privacy and any restrictions on public communication. Clarify whether the organization is proposing the work directly or acting for another body.

No institutional logo or affiliation should be used without authorization.

Specify the output, resources, timing and how usefulness will be assessed. Include what participants or affected communities can contribute to the design.

Send a non-confidential brief through Contact. Feasibility, funding and formal agreement require separate discussion.

For a public-science activity, the organization could define the community question, language needs and a practical way to gather feedback without unnecessary personal data. Evaluation might examine whether participants can explain the central idea and identify a reliable source. This is a planning example, not a report of a completed program.
