2014-2015 EHDI Evaluation Report
Instructions and Template
Due Date: July 25, 2015 by 4:30 p.m.
Revised June 2015
The EHDI Evaluation Report is designed for grantees to report on their project activities and evaluation
outcomes for the reporting period of July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. Please complete this report and send
it as a single Word document to OMMH via email to OMMH@STATE.MN.US. Be sure to include
attachments specified at the end of the reporting template. This document must be submitted by 4:30
p.m. on July 25, 2015.
What is the goal of this template?
The goal of this reporting template is for grantees to create succinct comprehensive summaries of their
projects and their evaluation results to share with a large range of audiences (e.g., community
stakeholders, legislators, Minnesota Department of Health). We are asking grantees to synthesize key
information about the approach, activities, outcomes, and lessons learned into one piece.
The EHDI Evaluation Report serves to benefit EHDI grantees, the Office of Minority and Multicultural
Health (OMMH), the newly established Center for Health Equity at Minnesota Department of Health
(MDH), as well as populations of color and American Indians living in Minnesota.
For example:
 Grantees can cut and paste components of the report for a variety of purposes such as creating a 13 page summary of the grant to share with community members, submit as an abstract for a
presentation, for newsletters or to post on a website, or for use in future RFPs.
 OMMH will summarize components of the report for legislative reports and to share with other
programs within MDH.
What information is available to help fill out this report?
Grantees can refer to documents they have already completed to write the report including: 1) RFP
application; 2) Logic Model; 3) Evaluation Plan; previous evaluation reports, and 4) other documents and
publications you have prepared about this grant.
