| Abstract: The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) provides national leadership in identifying, developing, and managing programs that support university-based research, extension, and teaching activities in order to solve nation-wide agricultural issues. CSREES provides funding to promote and strengthen the ability of Alaska Native-Serving/Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions to carry out education, applied research, and related community development programs. The Agency also provides funding to promote and strengthen the ability of Hispanic Serving Institutions to carry out educational programs that attract outstanding students and produce graduates capable of enhancing the Nation's food and agricultural scientific and professional work force. This paper presents a plan to monitor and evaluate the two programs. The plan is based on the logic models that delineate linkages of various program components that lead to activities, outputs and expected program outcomes. |
