From Submission to Success: Evaluation Advantage for Competitive Proposals
Presentation by Mary McKinley, Blen Biru, and Jade Hollars
The most impactful project is one that integrates evaluation into every stage. Many funding opportunities require teams to outline their approach for monitoring progress and measuring impact. Detailing an evaluation plan within your proposal can demonstrate your commitment both to accountability and quality improvement. Participants will learn the benefits of using tested evaluation frameworks to ground their planning and the basics of how to select a framework. We will practice building logic models by completing exercises to map activities with outcomes. Lastly, participants will review real-world examples of how planned data and learning can be integrated holistically within funding proposals to bolster and support all study aims. The presentation will provide concrete skills about evaluation planning research administrators can use to address common funder requirements, and an in-depth understanding of the local expertise and resources available to support your applications and projects.
