In PHE 630, this assignment guides students in designing appropriate evaluation methodologies that align with their grant proposal and program goals. Effective evaluation starts at the planning phase and requires thoughtful selection of methods and data sources across multiple evaluation types.

🎯 Purpose of the Worksheet:

This worksheet helps you:

• Develop an evaluation methodology early in the project lifecycle
• Distinguish between formative, process, outcome, and impact evaluations
• Justify the use of each method and align it with specific project goals
• Ensure evaluation is realistic, methodologically sound, and resource-ready

✅ A solid evaluation plan improves accountability, strengthens funding proposals, and supports continuous improvement.
