An Evaluation of Utah's Youth and Families With Promise Program
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
Supplemental funding was requested for the evaluation of Youth and Families with Promise, a state-wide Utah mentoring program, to facilitate a successful evaluation design. It was determined by NIJ at the time of the original award to JRSA that their design may need to be modified to include a second cohort of new program participants, rather than only one as was originally proposed by JRSA. This additional cohort is necessary to attain the appropriate sample size. This change also dictates that the study be lengthened by one year to accommodate data collection for the second year participants. It was determined by Sarah at the time of award that if, after further investigation, these changes were deemed necessary it would be handled through a supplemental award. The original evaluation grant to JRSA contained a special condition requiring the grantee to perform a site visit to the YFP program to determine as closely as possible the actual number of new program participants and submit a revised design. After further investigation and work with the program, it appears a two year cohort will be necessary.
