AstraZeneca Foundation Evaluation & Technical Assistance
Problem
The AstraZeneca Foundation needed a stakeholder-informed approach to evaluate its Together for CHANGE program.
To aid in ensuring that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health, the AstraZeneca Foundation (AZF) has established the Together for CHANGE (Changing Health Access for Next Generation Equity) program. Together for CHANGE supports nonprofit organizations with initiatives that address social determinants of health. In particular, the program supports nonprofits that focus on improving access to health care.
Solution
NORC and Together for CHANGE grantees will co-create an evaluation and reporting framework.
As the Evaluation and Technical Assistance Provider (ETAP), NORC will conduct a rigorous evaluation informed by stakeholder perspectives and needs.
NORC will co-create an evaluation and reporting framework alongside the Together for CHANGE grantees—a collaborative process that ensures evaluation results reflect the experiences and expertise of the grantees, thus strengthening the quality and utility of the evaluation results.
Result
The project will pursue four main goals.
NORC will fulfill four main goals over the lifecycle of the AZF project:
- Identify grantees with the capacity for the greatest impact on advancing equity in access to health care
- Develop a stakeholder-informed, multi-site evaluation design
- Provide evaluation training, technical assistance, and capacity-building to grantees
- Promote successful replication of grantees’ program methods to advance health access through toolkits, presentations, publications, and other dissemination products
