  5. The Toolkit Background

  6. What is the Toolkit based on? • An inventory of CCIs • An exploration of the literature about CCIs • Individual discussions with 40 people from five CCIs — funders, site managers, TA providers, and evaluators • A forum gathering of professionals involved with CCIs to review drafts and generate ideas

  7. TheToolkit

  8. Getting it into use • How do we get the Toolkit into the hands of people who can benefit from it? • How can we get new and current grant managers and COTRs to access the Toolkit and then apply it to their work? • How do we get agencies to encourage and support the use of the guidelines and tools?

  9. Getting it into use • How should we introduce the Toolkit to new leadership? • What can you commit to do to encourage your agency to incorporate this resource and the practices it describes into your agency’s program development guidance, procedures, training? • How else might the Coordinating Council support your efforts?

  10. Keeping it Current • How can we make this a living document that continually incorporates our best knowledge? • Getting input: • Feedback mechanisms on the website • In your agencies • In your workgroups

  11. Let’s make this Toolkit the GO-TO SOURCE for best knowledge when developing, managing and sustaining a CCI !
