Evaluation: A Key Ingredient for a Successful ATE Proposal

Evaluation is more than a requirement for ATE proposals; it’s an essential ingredient for increasing the cohesion and competiveness of a submission. Developing a proposal with an evaluative perspective can help potential grantees avoid common proposal pitfalls, such as writing goals that are too lofty or too simplistic or failing to demonstrate a logical relationship between activities and intended outcomes. In this webinar, presenters will share two tools specifically developed for ATE proposers: a checklist for developing evaluation plans for ATE proposals and a template for creating simple, powerful project logic models. Veteran ATE and NSF personnel will provide additional insights on how to put together a strong proposal.
