Depending upon the nature of the project, an evaluation may examine either or both process and product. Evaluations may be quantitative or qualitative or both. It is a good idea to build in evaluation throughout the life of the project so that you can have good information for making mid-course corrections if necessary. Think about what can be learned from your evaluation and with whom you want to share the information. Some parts of what you learn may be for internal uses only, but much can be shared with your peers.
Foundations like to think that their grants have a life beyond the single grantee.
Utilize on-campus resources to design your evaluation or to gain assessment tools. Dissemination Dissemination should be linked to your project goals and objectives. For example, if you are trying to affect policy, your dissemination plan should target policy-makers, media, and affected populations. Budget and Continuation Funding Show your budget in table form and use a budget narrative to explain each item. Include other sources of funding, both cash and in-kind.
