  1. Annual Report Workgroup Update June 12, 2008 Bob Bacon (and Workgroup Members)

  2. Annual Report Workgroup Members • Robert Bacon, Center for Disabilities and Development, Iowa • Daniel Bier, Waisman Center, Wisconsin • Elizabeth Bishop, Boling Center for Developmental Disabilities, Tennessee • Robyn Carroll, The Elizabeth M. Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities, New Jersey • Jean Johnson, Center on Disability Studies, Hawaii • Barbara Le Roy, Developmental Disabilities Institute, Michigan • Olivia Raynor, Tarjan Center for Developmental Disabilities, California • Penny Seay, Texas Center for Disabilities Studies, Texas • Barbara Wheeler, USC UCEDD, California • Valerie Williams, Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Leadership, Oklahoma • M. Bryce Fifield, North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities, North Dakota

  3. Intended Workgroup Outcomes INITIAL INTENDED OUTCOMES: • UCEDD program will have a revised template that will facilitate the process for reporting progress on an annual basis. • The revised template will provide more accurate data on UCEDD core function outcomes as a result of the development of a clearer set of directions for collecting data and definitions for reporting on activities. • ADD, the UCEDDs, and other stakeholders will be able to use the data to better show the impact of UCEDD activities on individuals with DD, families, and others. • UCEDDs will use the ADD logic model to develop more refined evaluation plans to measure program impact. AN ADDITIONAL GOAL EMERGED AS THE STRATEGIC REVIEW EVOLVED: • Assure a meaningful and efficient link between the Annual Report (and needed data collection) and the independent evaluation of the UCEDD network (i.e. PART/Westat).

  4. Initial Charge and Timeline for Workgroup

  5. Actual Timeline

  6. Progress of the Workgroup • Work to date: • Reviewed material and reacted to changes in timeline based on external forces (OMB, Westat evaluation, NPRM) and complexity of task. • Crafted a draft logic model (both in detail and in graphic format) for your comments. • Next steps • Revise the logic model in response to comments. • Review Annual Report template (and associated measures and definitions) for modifications that comply with the DD Act & Regulations and are consistent with the Logic Model. Explore adding qualitative methodologies. • Monitor proposed changes in Regulations for their potential impact. • Recommend possible revisions to accountability provisions of DD Act during reauthorization. • Link the UCEDD Logic Model to the HHS strategic plan. REVISED TARGET: Complete all template revisions in time for NIRS software revisions to be effective 7/1/09 for FY 2010 Annual Reports.

  7. The Logic behind the “New” Logic Model • Clarified definitions of key terms to better distinguish among inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes • Distinguished between Initial, Intermediate, and Ultimate Outcomes • Include vision and key values/principles • Organized by core function

  8. How does the Logic Model fit your program? • The Logic Model is intended to describe the inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes of the UCEDD network. • But this goal can be realized only if individual UCEDDs can find a home in it. • What do you think?
