Understanding the Heritage Dividend UID 112/NP 389

This project aims to improve our understanding of when and why heritage investment triggers a ‘heritage dividend’—a catalytic effect where initial heritage-led projects stimulate significant follow-on investment and sustained regeneration. Building on nine High Street Heritage Action Zone case studies and exemplar projects like Nottingham's Lace Market and the North Kent coastal town of Whitstable, the research will develop a theory of change explaining the mechanisms (such as confidence signalling, clustering, identity reinforcement and cultural branding) and enabling conditions that produce durable impacts. Deliverables include a theory of change model, reports, policy brief, stakeholder workshop, and comparative data. For more detailed information please see the attached ITT.

989217422 T1379- Validation and enhancement of train driver psychometric assessment, selection and recruitment for modern train operations in GB Rail

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive validation study of the train driver selection process that is used in GB Rail by all rail companies that employ mainline train drivers. This covers passenger operators, freight operators and infrastructure contractors. It will focus on both the standardised and non-standardised elements of train driver selection and be separated into two distinct phases. We consider a phase distinction to be important given the fundamental differences that exist between the two elements of train driver selection and the required outputs for each. There will be a stage gate review between phase 1 and phase 2 to enable review and reflection of the findings and recommendations, considering any additions or adaptions to phase 2 before commencement.
