Competitive Grants Program Evaluation
The Western SARE program administers the Professional Development Program (PDP) grants program to fund projects on sustainable agriculture production systems or marketing approaches that emphasize outreach and education to disseminate findings to agricultural professionals and other clientele. We assessed quantifiable impacts of these PDP grants and the reach or diffusion of the grantees’ efforts to agricultural professionals and other pertinent user groups. Western SARE also evaluated the grantmaking,contracting or reporting process.
