During the cycle 1 approvals process, IfATE colleagues are working with awarding bodies on a one-to-one basis.
The purpose of these sessions is to clarify specific queries from awarding bodies in relation to the published approvals criteria. IfATE has found that awarding bodies participating in one-to-one sessions with IfATE colleagues during the cycle 1 approvals process have had higher quality applications in the main submission window than those who did not participate in the sessions.
Awarding bodies who submitted in cycle 1 will continue to receive support from their dedicated IfATE contact.
If you did not submit in cycle 1 and are new to the process for cycle 2, please email us to request an initial one-to-one meeting.
