1) Outcomes (what success looks like)
Primary outcome clearly defined
in plain language (who/what changes).
Mapped to standardized taxonomy
(e.g., IG outcome code or equivalent).
Target population specified
(age, geography, eligibility).
Equity/representativeness considered
(subgroups, access barriers) — if applicable.
2) Indicators & Targets (how we’ll know)
Primary indicator
defined (numerator/denominator, unit).
Baseline value
(date/source) and
Target
(value/date) are set.
Secondary indicators
listed (optional leading indicators).
Attribution logic
stated (why changes are due to this grant vs. context).
3) Evidence & Verification (how credible it is)
Evidence basis
documented (prior results, literature, benchmark, pilot).
Verification approach
chosen (third-party/light audit/standard validation).
Data sources
identified and accessible (admin data, surveys, obs.).
Data quality checks
scheduled (completeness, consistency, timeliness).
4) Measurement Plan (who/when/how)
Measurement cadence
set (baseline, mid-point, close, 3–6 mo post).
Collection method & tool
named (form/system/template link).
Roles & owners
assigned (collector, validator, reporter).
Privacy/consent
handled (PII, IRB/ethics if relevant).
5) Delivery & Reporting (what you’ll deliver)
Deliverables
specified (one-pager, CSV export, deck) with due dates.
Disaggregation
agreed (site, subgroup) if needed for decisions/learning.
Comparison/benchmark
source noted (peer, historical, IG benchmark).
Learning agenda
captured (what to adjust next cycle).
6) Risk & Feasibility (what could go wrong)
Key risks
listed with owners (capacity, data access, partnership).
Mitigations
documented (backup data sources, lighter measures, buffer).
Budget/time
earmarked for measurement (5–10% or in-kind support).
Co-funding/overlap
checked to align on shared outcomes.
