Evaluation Technical Assistance and Support Team

A team of experts is available to provide evaluation technical assistance (TA) and support to grantees with questions on evaluation planning or implementation. The team is also working with OMMH staff to coordinate resources and learning opportunities on topics that will support grantees’ success.

The team is offering these services:

  • Individual meetings to develop evaluation plans and provide TA on their implementation
  • Review and feedback on all evaluation-related materials
  • Web access to evaluation resources and tip sheets
  • Interactive working sessions with small groups of grantees on special topics of interest
  • Webinars on topics related to the reduction of health disparities and social determinants of health
The TA team is managed by Rainbow Research, Inc. and is made up of evaluation experts from HACER, the Improve Group, and NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center.
