Discussion
Most funders will request an evaluation of the grant program. The funder wants evidence that the funded program achieved its intended outcomes. Therefore, understanding types of evaluation methods and evaluation criteria is important. Using the course material and additional research:
1. Discuss formative and summative evaluations.
2. Research evaluation criteria used in three grant proposals, identify the criteria used, and discuss any commonalities between the criteria.
3. Now that you know more about program evaluations, how might you write the grant proposal differently?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
