Technical Support for Designing the Navigating Childhood in a Digital Age (NCDA) Research

UNICEF has now issued a Request for Proposals in order to select an organization to provide Technical Support for Designing the Navigating Childhood in a Digital Age (NCDA) Research.

This engagement seeks a UK-based research institution or organization to provide specialized technical advisory support to UNICEF Innocenti in designing and preparing the Navigating Childhood in a Digital Age (NCDA) study in England. The selected partner will not conduct the research itself but will provide expert guidance on longitudinal mixed-methods research design, sampling approaches, survey and qualitative instruments, ethics and safeguarding protocols, analysis frameworks, and interpretation of findings. The objective is to strengthen the quality, feasibility, and implementation readiness of a three-wave study examining how artificial intelligence and digital experiences influence adolescent well-being, development, and relationships in England.
