Today one of the two proposed evolutions will be funded $25,000 from my agency. We will be briefly discussing each evaluation that is submitted and which one seems to qualify for the grant. We will go through the basic checklists that a successful evaluation must have to receive the grant for their organization. The first proposed evaluation is the Grant County SPF SIG evaluation plan, which is a worksite alcohol prevention program that is taking place at a local manufacturing plant.

Showing a logic model comes with many profits mainly because “it shows the steps on the path of change reality to an ideal point in time. (Bucher, 2009, p.327). Using a logic model is also important because it “helps explain the program’s goals or underlying program theories” according to the Public Health Training Center Evaluation they used logic models to improve practice and educate the public health workforce, (Freedman, 2014, 81-82).

They also explained how they are focusing on a small group, which is the Salvadoran community and from there they plan on helping the general community. The TB Support Program also listed small steps they are taking to reach the long-term goals. The program also identified all their goals, their staff that is required for this program, the provided the need, context, target population, logic model and so on.

They also listed positions and who is responsible for what and they were able to provide us with an evaluation
