Given the tight budget environment, OMB expects agencies to conduct rigorous, evidenced-based reviews of their programs' effectiveness. The quality and rigor with which agencies conduct their reviews may have serious impacts on a program's status in upcoming presidential budgets.

In this half-day workshop, participants will learn how they can:

• Identify program objectives and why they are important;
• Decide if a program can meet those objectives;
• Monitor and document progress and make adjustments;
• Determine whether a program was effective, for whom, and under what conditions (i.e., measure impact); and
• Calculate a program's value in relation to its costs and benefits.
