FORM 6: Summative Evaluation Plan

Instructions:
Each grantee must assess immediate and long-term program outcomes. A draft summative evaluation plan may be submitted with the proposal or within three months of a SIG grant award. The major sections of summative evaluation plan are based on the work of the Western Center for Application of Prevention Technologies. (Instructions for completing each section of a summative evaluation plan and examples appear on their website.)  Click on Program Planning and Best Practices; then click on Step 7: Evaluation. A print copy of the information will be available at the informational meetings. Note that the column headers run down the page here instead across the page as they do in the website examples.

If you are proposing an initiative that is a science-based model, there may be an already developed summative evaluation plan that you can attach. If you attach an existing plan, please be sure it addresses all the information specified below.


Guiding Evaluation Questions List questions that will guide you in conducting an evaluation of sections 5 and 6 of your logic model (questions related to immediate outcomes and long term outcomes).
  • Questions related to immediate outcomes:
  • Questions related to long term outcomes:
Measures and Sources of Data  Specify the instrument or procedure you will use to collect data related to the questions listed above and the timing of data collection. Specify the timing of measurements (data will be collected as a post-measure only, post-measure only with comparison group; pre-/post-measure, pre-/post-measure with a comparison group). 
  • A manual of recommended CSAP core measures is available from CAREI.
  • Grantees are encouraged to select appropriate measures from this core list. 
  • Alternative measures should be briefly justified.
Data Analysis Plan Specify if data will be analyzed as rates, proportions, frequencies, measures of central tendency (e.g., mean, median, mode), and/or qualitatively analyzed for themes. Specify the standard of comparison (To answer the question: As compared to what?): comparison to established target; to baseline data; to trends over time; or to a comparison group if you have used measures with them.
