Logic Models

Logic models are a visual representation of your program. They display the resources available for your program, the short and long-term goals for your trainees and the activities that you have designed to help the trainees achieve those goals.

You can use a logic model to help you write your grant proposal. The logic model helps you to map out the key goals and activities for your program in a systematic way. You can also include the logic model in your proposal. They are helpful for reviewers because they provide a concise summary of your program.

Program Evaluation Core evaluation specialists can help you develop a logic model for your proposal.
