Diverse Intelligences (DI) is the The Templeton World Charity Foundation’s (TWCF) ambitious, field-building programme designed to cultivate new interdisciplinary knowledge, networks, and ideas at the frontier of research into intelligence. The DI Fellowship Programme and Hubs, launched in late 2025, are the final activities of its current phase. This evaluation responds to TWCF’s requirement for evidence and learning about DI Fellowship Programme and Hubs. Through research and reporting over 23 months, Triple Line seeks to provide TWCF leadership with evidenced findings and recommendations on the DI Initiative’s effectiveness, outcomes and future potential. This learning will also equip them to better steer its strategy going forward and provide a evidence base that is transferable to similar initiatives.

Our approach prioritises close collaboration with TWCF to agree the scope of the evaluation and ensure full alignment with strategic priorities. Attentive to the dynamic and non-linear pathways to impact that innovation programmes like DI can follow, we propose appropriate evaluation techniques such as outcome harvesting and contribution analysis that allow evaluators construct plausible outcome pathways based on the evidence collected from all stakeholders.

The project will deliver four key outputs: an Inception Report (October 2026), an Interim Findings Brief (April 2027), a Draft Final Evaluation Report (March/April 2028) and a Final Evaluation Report (May 2028). The latter Interim Findings Brief and Final Evaluation Report will be preceded by periods of data collection and analysis, including document review, workshops and interviews with DI and informed external stakeholders, and analysis of bibliometric data. The Interim Findings Brief will focus on operational quality and signposting emerging outcomes, while the Final Evaluation Report will explore outcomes more deeply and provide strategic recommendations. Both will be delivered as communications packages including an internal report, leadership slide deck and external-facing brief.
