Evaluation planning is a critical component of TIG project management.  It provides managers with a mechanism for monitoring project implementation and identifying necessary operational adjustments.  It should also provide a analytical framework and identify the data that will be needed to evaluate the project and effectively complete the TIG grant Final Report.

The evaluation plan should:

• Clearly articulate the goals and objectives of the project
• Identify the activities and strategies that will be implemented to achieve the goals and objectives
• Specify the methodologies and data sets that will be used to evaluate the project's progress and accomplishments.

TIG Grantees should submit their evaluation plan with their first progress report or email it to their grant manager during the first grant period.
