Smaller, nonacademic organizations often lack the experience, time, and resources needed to conduct and implement evaluations that are critical to effective program execution and sustainability. To address this need among its own grantees, in 2008 NYHealth began funding a technical assistance initiative that offers additional support in strengthening the evaluation aspects of grantee projects.
With funding from NYHealth, the New York University (NYU) Grossman School of Medicine and New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) have provided direct assistance to interested grantees, held training workshops for grantees, and created an online evaluation toolkit to be used by potential NYHealth applicants and current grantees. Through continued annual support from NYHealth, the evaluation technical assistance program has built on the successes of previous years. In 2024 NYHealth awarded NYU a grant to continue this initiative for grantees.
Under this grant, NYU held two evaluation technical assistance workshops for new NYHealth grantees. These in-person workshops covered a range of topics, including developing a logic model; designing and implementing a process and outcome evaluation; and coding and analyzing qualitative data. In August 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the format changed to online webinars so grantees could continue building technical assistance while socially distancing.
Because of the success of the initiative, NYHealth continues to provide technical assistance for new grantees and applicants each year.
