Now that you have defined what
your project will provide, to whom, and the intended results or benefits,
you should develop a structure to evaluate the project. The process of
evaluating whether a project is achieving its intended outcomes involves
the construction of an evaluation plan – sometimes known as an outcomes
logic model.
An outcomes logic model is simply a step-by-step approach
for measuring project impact. It shows the relationship between project
activities and the results these activities produce. |
 |
There are nine elements
to the logic model (only five need be addressed in an NEA grant
application; see note below). The nine elements are described
in the pages that follow and include: project “inputs,” “activities
and services,” “outputs,” “outcomes,” “indicators,”
“data source,” “applied to,” “data intervals,”
and “target.”
