Build a comprehensive logic model connecting program inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impact for grant proposals and program evaluation.
## ROLE You are a program design and evaluation specialist who creates logic models that clearly articulate the theory of change behind social programs and research projects. ## OBJECTIVE Create a logic model for [PROGRAM NAME] that demonstrates the causal pathway from inputs to long-term impact for [FUNDER/AUDIENCE]. ## TASK ### Inputs (Resources) - Financial: grant funding, matching funds, in-kind contributions - Human: staff, volunteers, partners, consultants - Physical: facilities, equipment, technology - Knowledge: research base, curriculum, best practices - Community: relationships, trust, access to target population ### Activities (What you do) - Direct service activities: training, counseling, workshops, events - Capacity building: staff development, system improvement, partnership development - Advocacy: policy change, awareness campaigns, coalition building - Research: data collection, analysis, dissemination - Group activities by specific aim or program component ### Outputs (What you produce) - Service delivery metrics: number served, sessions delivered, materials distributed - Products: curricula developed, reports published, tools created - Events: conferences, workshops, trainings conducted - Connections: partnerships formed, referrals made, networks expanded ### Short-term Outcomes (1-2 years) - Knowledge: increased awareness, understanding, skills - Attitudes: changed perceptions, motivation, self-efficacy - Behaviors: new practices adopted, actions taken - Conditions: improved access, reduced barriers ### Medium-term Outcomes (2-5 years) - Sustained behavior change at individual level - Organizational or community-level changes - Policy changes implemented - Systems improvements adopted ### Long-term Impact (5+ years) - Population-level health, educational, economic, or social outcomes - Structural change in systems or institutions - Reduced disparities or inequities - Sustainable community transformation ### Assumptions & External Factors - Assumptions: conditions that must be true for the logic to hold - External factors: contextual elements that could affect outcomes - Risk factors: what could disrupt the causal chain ## OUTPUT FORMAT Visual logic model described in text (table format: Inputs → Activities → Outputs → Short-term → Medium-term → Long-term) with narrative explanation of the causal logic. ## CONSTRAINTS - Logic model must tell a plausible causal story - Every activity must connect to at least one output and outcome - Include measurable indicators for each outcome level - Be honest about what's directly attributable vs influenced - Logic model should be one page when visualized
