Closing the GAP between user research and co-creation: Making finding and applying for government grants simpler, faster, fairer and more efficient.

About this talk

In this session colleagues from the Cabinet Office’s Grants Applicant Programme (GAP) and their delivery partner, AND Digital, will share their experience of getting the pilot Find a Grant service off the ground in a matter of months. By setting up and growing a new Government Grants Community of Interest - which now has over 600 members - they have co-created, co-design and tested their service.

As of now (23 June 2022), over 48 grants have featured on Find a Grant with a total value of £873m. And since going live over 6000 people have visited the site - with 144 having gone on to click ‘apply’ too.

Between now and March 2023 they will co-develop the site further into an end-to-end find and apply service. Join the session to find out how they have taken user research into the realms of genuine co-creation.
