Description¶

The article organizes its account of evaluation technical assistance around six topics: the grant programs, "details about ETA including its funding and provision," "details about the success and utilization of ETA," benefits of ETA, balancing program or initiative requirements and evaluation needs, and thoughts on how to make ETA successful. This structure can guide providers and funders in planning and assessing ETA during design and early implementation of grant-funded evaluations.
