COURSE DESCRIPTION

Over the past two decades, program evaluation has become increasingly important. Accordingly, grant applications require a plan to evaluate both the processes and outcomes you intend to implement and achieve. In this session, participants will learn the basics of evaluation and how to apply these ideas to any grant application. This is the final session of a four-part series that will empower participants to find and appropriately respond to grant opportunities.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
