� Don’t Wait for a Funding Opportunity to Select Programs!
� Program Selection Planning Team o Do you have the right people on your team to most effectively select a program? o Does each member of the team understand the priorities established in the community
strategic plan? o Is there a diverse selection of members with a wide variety of skills represented on the
team? • Budget writing • Program selection • Data/outcomes
� Agency Participation o Who will be the best agency to take the lead on applying for and implementing program?
� Develop a Timeline o Start from deadline date and work backwards o Program selection takes time o Have team work on other sections as program selection is being made

community have that the program will result in improved outcomes?
� Program Feasibility o Do the community, implementers, and implementing organization have the necessary
capacity to deliver the program with sufficient quality, sustain it, and assess its delivery and impact?

� Critical Program Components • Risk and protective factors addressed by the program • How and with whom the program was conducted
• Target population
• Program evaluation • Results
� Appropriateness of the Program • Implementation costs • Resources, skills and time issues
• Social and political issues

� Implementation Costs • Staff • Training
• Supplies & Materials
• Equipment & Facilities • Administration
� Resources, Skills, and Time Available • Resources – how will they affect selected programs? • Skills – what credentials & experience is required? (Can we afford it?)
• Timing – when will implementation steps take place?
• Outside Training & Technical Assistance • Substitutes or Staff Replacements
• Transportation
• Costs Over Time

� Promising Approaches “We really think that this will work…but we need time to prove it”
� Research-Based “The intervention is based on a sound theoretical foundation”
� Evidenced-Based (Highest level of confidence)
“This intervention has been tested and shown to work”
