From Evaluation to Action: Using Evaluation Findings to Improve Your Project

Presenter: Valerie Marshall
Thursday, July 27 | 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.

Evaluation is a powerful tool that can help inform project goals and activities, identify areas for growth, and guide decision-making. After providing a gentle introduction to evaluation, this session will review different ways that evaluation findings can be leveraged, whether you are in the proposal development stage or have already started your grant. Attendees will strengthen their knowledge of evaluation, identify ways that evaluation findings can be harnessed in proposal development and all phases of a project’s implementation, and walk away with relevant EvaluATE resources to support ATE proposals and evaluations.

Crafting Clear and Concise Logic Models for Successful ATE Proposals and Evaluations

Presenters: Lyssa Wilson Becho and Megan Lopez
Thursday, July 27 | 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Logic models are a powerful tool that can visually communicate a project’s goals and intended outcomes. Grant proposals and evaluation plans can greatly benefit from the inclusion of a clear and concise logic model. This presentation will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the essential elements of a logic model and how to develop their own. Throughout the presentation, attendees will be shown examples of ATE logic models and how they have been used successfully. Participants will leave with practical tools for creating their own logic models and integrating them into ATE proposals and evaluation plans.
