Grants and Grant Writing: Other Resources

Resources on grants and grant writing for those in the sciences (specifically the health sciences)

Miscellaneous Resources

W.K. Kellogg Foundation supports committed community-based and national organizations, focusing significant resources on places where children face especially tough challenges. Their website includes a logic model to enhance program planning, implementation, and dissemination activities. The program logic model is defined as a picture of how your organization does its work – the theory and assumptions underlying the program. A program logic model links outcomes (both short- and long-term) with program activities/processes and the theoretical assumptions/principles of the program.

They also have an evaluation handbook that provides a framework for thinking about evaluation as a relevant and useful program tool that is supportive and responsive to projects, rather than an end in itself.
