Evaluation Process – These are standard requirements that HUD will expect every program manager receiving a grant to do as part of their project management.

• An evaluation process will be part of the on-going management of the program.

• Comparisons will be made between projected and actual numbers for both outputs and outcomes.

• Deviations from projected outputs and outcomes will be documented and explained.

• Analysis of data to determine the relationship of outputs to outcomes; what outputs produce which outcomes.

HUD Will Use The Following Management Questions To Evaluate Your Program

1. How many doctoral candidates adopted housing issues as their area of research interest?

2. How many investigative projects were initiated which address housing issues?

3. How many doctoral candidates adopted strategic goals or policy priorities other than housing as their area of research interest?

Carter-Richmond Methodology

The above Management Questions developed for your program are based on the Carter-Richmond Methodology1. A description of the Carter-Richmond Methodology appears in the General Section of the NOFA.
