Want to enhance your organizational capacity? 

A healthy community requires healthy organizations that thoughtfully and deliberately engage in activities that benefit their intended beneficiaries. However, not every organization possesses the internal capacity to program in a meaningful way. The Healthy Communities Research Network (HCRN) addresses this skills gap by offering fee-for-service workshops and training sessions designed to build organizational capacity associated with program planning and evaluation. If interested, please contact HCRN to arrange a workshop tailored to your organization's needs, contract a trend analysis or literature review, or hire a facilitator. 

Outcome evaluation 101

This accessible and highly informative workshop walks participants through the process of developing a practical and useful outcome evaluation plan tailored to their specific organizations. Focusing attention on the outcomes for intended beneficiaries, the workshop trains participants how to create outcome logic models and identify outcome indicators and measurements to evaluate their achievement of desired outcomes. Contact HCRN for more details about this service and its cost.
