Sample Logic Model

Logic Model Description

A logic model is a tool that graphically represents the connection between the proposed goals, objectives, and performance metrics of a project and its activities. It can be an invaluable tool for program monitoring and performance management because it requires that projected outputs and outcomes be identified. Importantly, the logic model should convey the logical chain of causal relationships that demonstrate how anticipated outputs and outcomes will be realized. The logic model should describe the relationships between what resources are used (financial and human), what will be produced (outputs), and what will be achieved (outcomes).

The logic model template can be used to convey the links between inputs, programmatic activities, outputs and outcomes. [Note: The logic model presented is not a required format and ODEP does not expect strict adherence to this format. It is presented only as a sample.]

The completed logic model should be grounded on the Project Design in which you conveyed how the project’s activities will effectively contribute to the realization of outputs and outcomes. A properly developed logic model will show a logical pathway from inputs to outcomes, in which the outcomes relate to your comprehensive plan for providing services and accomplishing the goals described in the SGA in sections I.A. Background and I B. Description and Purpose and I.B.2 Required Services and discussed in Part II. Project Narrative of your proposal. The completed logic model should reflect how the project’s activities will contribute to the realization of ODEP’s outputs and outcomes.

Examples of Inputs (resources) include people (e.g., staff hours, volunteer hours), funds and other resources (e.g., facilities, equipment, community services).

Examples of Program Components (activities or services) include technical assistance and training, information dissemination, outreach, policy and effective practice development, and collaboration.

ODEP’s Outputs (objectives) include:

• Policy outputs,

• Formal agreements,

• Effective practices,

• Entities Receiving Technical Assistance,

• Outreach Events,

• Outreach Event Attendees,

• Outreach Hours,

• Technical Assistance Events, and

• Collaborative Relationships.

Taken together, the Inputs, Program Components and Outputs all lead to Outcomes. ODEP’s outcomes are the adoption and implementation of its policy strategies and effective practices by the Department of Labor, its federal partners and national provider and advocacy stakeholders.
