There will be FOUR (4) separate documents due for this assignment (2 worksheets (attached) and 2 narrative submissions):
1. The Methods Worksheet (Worksheet 5.1a1 attached)
2. A written Methods Component for the Grant Proposal (narrative document, see example attached labeled: Methods Component Proposal Narrative Example)
3. The Evaluation Planning Questionnaire (Worksheet 6.1a1 attached)
A written Evaluation Component for the Grant Proposal (narrative document example attached labeled: Evaluation Component Example).

All worksheets and written submissions NEED to contain great amount of details where appropriate. One or two sentence responses in worksheets will likely result in a poor grade, so include lots of details.

***Please use all remaining attachments for supporting data use to complete assignments.

Notes for assignment:
Methods must describe how the Project will accomplish its goals and objectives .
Think of Methods as the Plan. It should answer how to, who will, and the costs to complete each task and the time frame in which it will occur. This may need to be done in Phases. An infrastructure may need to be structured first. Advisory boards may need to be established. A team of individuals or experts may need to be hired. This may include writing job descriptions, establishing search and screen committees, or recruiting staff. Partnerships are collaborative agreements may need to be established. (more information on collaboration will be presented in the next Unit) Equipment may need to be purchased. Building may need to be built, leased, or renovated. A marketing plan may need to be established. Advertising may need to be purchased. Media contact may be necessary. Accounting procedures may need to be established. Surveys may need written and distributed. Documentation processes may need clarified. You may feel you are being repetitive and tedious. Often in this stage you will need to provide supporting documentation. Supporting documentation are items such as the Resume’ of the Key Personnel to be hired for the Project or Price lists for furniture to be purchased. Submit supporting documentation as an appendix at the end of the proposal. Stating the same things again in different ways may be necessary. Different individuals or reviewers may be reading different sections of the grant proposal; do not worry if it seems redundant. The methods section establishes priorities and timelines.
Evaluation must demonstrate the impact of the Project Think of evaluation as auditing and explaining to the funder their return on investment. It must explain in detail who will collect the data, when and how it will be analyzed and using what criteria. Initially, an evaluation plan must be included in the grant proposal showing quantitative (summative) and qualitative (formative) evaluation. in most cases, quantitative numbers and percentages will be good enough for funders. However, to show credibility to the Program, a qualitative analysis may be called for. This includes such processes as identifying problems or determining the adequacy of services. For example, assume a program objective was to reduce the number of crashes by 50% the number of drivers under 18 at XYZ location.
The evaluation may be: The Program Chief (name) will use official police records to determine the number of traffic crashes which involved drivers under the age of 18 at XYZ location. Statistics will be compared at the end of the year (date) compared to the beginning of the year (date) to determine if 50% fewer incidents occurred.
