Logical Frameworks for Evaluation of Research and Innovation
|
Logical frameworks include a logic model or theory of change describing what will be evaluated (inputs, strategies, target audience, expected sequence of outcomes and context), evaluation questions, indicators that together can answer those questions, and methods. Frameworks are much more than a logic model diagram. For examples of logical frameworks that are carefully executed with both program staff input and literature research on context and theory of change, see those of the New York State Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Links to two of these are in the table below. |
