Tribal MIECHV Evaluation Capacity Readiness Assessment Checklist (2017)

The Evaluation Capacity Readiness Assessment Checklist (ECR) was developed to help Tribal MIECHV grantees prepare to evaluate their home visiting services. The ECR is a self-assessment tool focused on examining organizational and team readiness to engage in evaluation activities. The assessment process can help grantees determine the areas of their program and organization that may need to be strengthened to be fully prepared to plan, launch, and implement an evaluation. The ECR should be conducted before evaluation questions are developed, as the results can inform what is feasible and appropriate for the program and organization. While the ECR was developed for Tribal MIECHV grantees, it is applicable to any program seeking to evaluate their services and activities.
