provide your Methodology and Evaluation Plans.

In developing the methodology for your project, keep these thoughts in mind:

  • A project should undertake only activities that will move it toward the objectives.
  • If any activities are not necessary for reaching the objectives, do not include them in the proposal.

The Methodology includes:

  • Program description
  • Research design
  • Human subjects (sample)
  • Study validity and reliability
  • Assumptions and limitations
  • Timeline
  • Analysis (and/or see Evaluation below)
  • Non-personnel resources
  • Personnel resources
  • Management plan (Work plan)

The Evaluation Plan includes:

  • Description of the specific criteria that will measure the success of the project
  • Explanation of data that will be collected
  • Explanation of the data collection plans at the beginning, mid-program, and final evaluation
  • Evaluation instruments that will be used and an explanation of why these instruments were selected
  • Plans for writing the periodic reports to keep the funder updated
