Short Statement: The current evaluation will use the same design and data collection methods as the prior evaluation, with some minor updates to the interview protocols based on program revisions. Many of the grantees, however, have changed since the prior study, and other CAAI-supported programs that were not previously subject to formal evaluation will be included in the current evaluation. Specifically, the evaluation will include the two Resource Centers that are charged with providing grantees with technical support and promoting coordination across grant programs.
