Requests for Information/Helpdesk

The grantee asked if the time periods for short, intermediate, and long-term goals could be extended to allow more time for data collection, and we confirmed that the adjustments could be made. They also inquired about combining survey questions, and we explained that it depends on the specific questions, emphasizing the importance of clarity and avoiding double-barreled questions. We provided feedback on their surveys, suggesting revisions for clearer wording, more precise question definitions, and adding options like "Other" for open-ended responses.

We followed up with the grantee to share the logic model and evaluation action plan templates, along with helpful tipsheets. Additionally, we provided survey feedback and offered further insights or recommendations based on our conversations.

We met with the grantee to discuss their questions about how best to use the data they’ve collected to build a report. We reviewed their surveys and interview guides, providing feedback that will be shared with them. We also addressed challenges they were facing with the data and explored potential solutions, considering the unique populations they’re working with. We reviewed how to identify key elements for the report and suggested using a logic model and evaluation action plan to help structure and guide their work.

We sent the grantee an email regarding data and desistance, providing some insights and resources. We are still inquiring about the cost-benefit analysis and will follow up with more information as soon as possible.
