Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year		Action Research Project with the University of Warwick 1. Project start The project is broadly split into 3 phases of work spread over 4 years (2022-2026). Work started immediately on Phase 1 which is the longest period of activity. In 2022, the project team focussed on project set-up activities. Whilst the project proposal detailed the work involved, a project plan and timeline were developed to manage project progress along with a schedule of project management meetings. This period involved refining the research questions for the exploratory research, establishing literature and policy reviews, forming and holding the inaugural meeting of the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) and development of the key research instruments to be deployed, applying for ethical approval from Warwick for the research to commence, and establishing the selection criteria and university database to arrive at the targeted research teams at the state level in India. 2.Deliverables in the first five months (Jul-Dec 2022) a. Project proposal & planning In preparing for the project funding pitch, an initial project proposal had been developed. In line with NIEPA procedure, an extended proposal was prepared which included a detailed literature review and project implementation plan. The proposal was also presented to the inaugural Research Advisory Committee (RAC) meeting (see more information below). b. Recruitment (RAs, RC) Supporting the two Co-Principal Investigators and Co-Investigator, the project successfully recruited a number of experienced Research Assistants (RAs) to support delivery of project activities. Joining the project and working at various points over the five months in the UK were Ms Denisse Lillo-Sierra, Ms S. Arokia Mary and Ms Ragini Khurana, all doctoral students with relevant expertise who are also completing their PhDs at Warwick. Starting in January 2023, Matt Phillips joined the project as a Research Coordinator (RC) based at Warwick University. c. Communications – website & social media A project website atwww.warwick.ac.uk/waheiwas established to provide to the wider public a platform to promote news, key outputs and relevant project information. Running in conjunction with the website is a social media channel (www.twitter.com/FCFProjects) that promotes project activity and associated news to the global stage, helping to direct interested parties to the project website. d. 1st Research Advisory Committee (RAC) Meeting – October 2022 The University of Warwick & CPRHE-NIEPA organised and held the first meeting of the project RAC in October 2022 (online). The meeting was chaired by Professor Pradeep Kumar Misra, Director of CPRHE/NIEPA India. The RAC’s purpose is to provide project oversight and guidance to the project team in the execution of project activity and is expected to be held4times overthe project’s duration. Forthisfirstmeeting, the project

proposal was presented by Dr Henderson, Dr Sabharwal and Prof.
Stewart, with the ensuing discussion used to gather final feedback and
observations prior to final amendment of the project approach. Notes of
the meeting were prepared and shared in the requisite channels at
NIEPA. RAC were highly positive about the originality and potential for
impact of the study.
Members of the RAC are as follows:
 Representatives from Widening Participation and Outreach
(WP&O), University of Warwick, UK - Cherryl Jones attended the
meeting
 Dr. Mikateko Mathebula, Senior Researcher, SARCHi Chair in
Higher Education and Human Development Research
Programme, University of the Free State, South Africa
 Professor Tristan McCowan, Professor, International Education,
UCL Institute of Education, UK - sent apologies for the first
meeting
 Professor Padmaja Mishra, Former Vice Chancellor, Rama Devi
Women’s University, India
 Professor Mohd. Muzammil, Formerly Vice Chancellor, Dr. B. R.
Ambedkar University, India
 Dr. Latha Pillai, Former Adviser, National Assessment and
Accreditation Council, India
e. Research Instruments design
A major dimension of the work for the first five months of the study has
involved developing a range of Research Instruments in order to carry
out the empirical study across 6 states of India, using a range of methods
including innovative methods such as solicited diary method. The
Instruments have been developed to produce in-depth, valuable
knowledge about the involvement of faculty members and higher
education institutions in outreach, so that the subsequent impact
activities, e.g. the policy brief, will have a substantial evidence base to
support the recommendations. The Research Instruments were
constructed based on the prior experience of the research teams in order
to move into the Pilot phase in early 2023.
f. Dissemination activities
During the first year of the project, the main dissemination focus has
been on the first FCF project, including the production of several
publications which are in production/in review/in press.
3.Summary of project progress from the Principal Co-Investigators
The project has maintained a suitable rate of progress in accordance with
the initial plan, although the project met with some obstacles which led to
delays, in particular the production and signing of the Collaboration
Agreement between Warwick and NIEPA and the initial transfer of funds
to NIEPA from Warwick for the work to be completed at the NIEPA side.
We regularly review progress against the timeline in order to assess how
any unavoidable delays can be mitigated by e.g., overlapping streams of
activity. Plans for 2023 include the Phase 1 pilot study, the Research
Methodology Workshop with the state research teams, and preparation of
the first project research publication, a paper to be submitted to the
CPRHE Research Paper series.
