Although the grant programs were not required to report the number or reasons for excluding individuals from enrolling, 23 grantee sites submitted relatively complete data for us to roughly estimate the percentages of participants excluded based on different criteria.
Such communications may be met by publishing a summary of each document in one or more newspapers of general circulation, and by making copies of each document available on the Internet, on the grantee's official government Web site, and as well at libraries, government offices, and public places.
In undertaking this funding initiative, ClearWay Minnesota created processes to facilitate information sharing through annual site visits, all-grantee meetings and facilitated conference calls.
These grantees and their corresponding implementing site locations (in parentheses) were: Health Services Center (Anniston, AL); Kansas City Free Health Clinic (Kansas City, MO); Louisiana Office of Public Health, HIV/AIDS Program (Baton Rouge, LA); South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control Columbiaa & Greenville, SC); and Virginia Department of Health (Richmond, VA).
The Jail Diversion and Trauma Recovery Priority to Veterans (JDTR National Cross-Sitee Evaluation was tasked with conducting a multi-site evaluation of thirteen grantee programs that varied along multiple domains.
And in a surprise move, a U.S. House committee has recommended that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) post its grantees' papers on a free Internet site.
The sample was selected from a list of all FQHC grantees that have at least one site that is a community-based primary care clinic.
As a service to NIH- and NIEHS-funded researchers at flooded universities, this site provides links to information for grantees affected by Hurricane Katrina, including notices from the NIH Guide.
They want to learn about the needs of their community, read letters of inquiry from nonprofits, go on site visits, do due diligence on prospective grantees and ultimately vote democratically on which nonprofits receive grants.
Some cited the importance of site visits and other means to triangulate reports from grantee respondents, and a few described iteratively re-visiting different groups to obtain feedback on their emerging findings.
