Based on this assessment, 95 percent demonstrate partial or complete institutionalization by the end of the grant. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2003 - 2004 Data Available: January 2004 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Similar Data from Site Visit Scorecard. Assessment of project drawn from on-site visitation and evaluation or projects. 100 percent of projects have shown attention devoted to dissemination planning before the end of the project date. Limitations: Data supplied as a result of the assessment of project final reports submitted by project directors. Improvements: Planning modification of assessment to work with planned on-line assessment for 2003. External evaluation of the Comprehensive Program is currently underway. |
