Hello All, Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit would like to request expressions of interest for small research projects (£1-3k) to look at the impact of the Bike It Programme. Proposals should be aimed at delivering findings which will enable the programme to be evaluated and developed, or as small 'priming' studies which could present themselves as a route to a wider research project. Some of you may be aware of the Bike It programme which is led and implemented in schools by Sustrans (for more information see http://195.224.180.230/default.asp?sID=1102425335218, and the Bike It Project Review - attached). Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit are conducting a complex 3 year monitoring programme covering the various aspects of Bike It and the way in which they impact upon cycling levels amongst school children. We have a limited funding pot which we would like to offer to interested parties to conduct research which will complement our own approach. If your expression of interest is appropriate to the monitoring programme, we will send you a short proforma to complete. We would be grateful if recipients could pass this message onto appropriate colleagues and parties whom they consider appropriate. Please respond to [log in to unmask] Expressions of interest must be received by the 25th of September. Completed proformas will be expected by the 9th of October with decisions made by the end of the month.
