INTRODUCTION:

This final report should include information from October 1, 2016 – September 30, 2017. This report has three sections:

1. Year-End Program and Evaluation Final Report Narrative with associated appendices.2. Education and Administrative Reporting System (EARS) Data Report available via the following link:

http://michigannutritionnetwork.org/year-end-report/ears-data-report/ 3. Financial Report to be completed online in Formstack available via the following link:

http://michigannutritionnetwork.org/year-end-report/financial-report/

The tables provided in the report narrative template will expand to accommodate your information. All components of your final report will be reviewed by your MFF SNAP-Ed Project Manager prior to submission to the Michigan Department of Human Services and the US Department of Agriculture for review.

Reporting Note: You will notice that the evaluation sections of the narrative report are split into process and outcome evaluation findings for both direct education (DE) and policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) initiatives. All of these sections are equally important and should be described at a level of detail for readers to understand the evaluation efforts included in your project.

1) Executive Summary

Provide a one-page (not more than 500 words) Executive Summary of SNAP-Ed activities during the reporting fiscal year. Please remember that this is reviewed by MDHHS and USDA, in addition to your FY17 MFF Project Manager. Include the following for both DE and PSE:

a. Overarching goals of interventionsb. Program description: intervention strategies, setting, and populationc. Evaluation: methods for data collection, outcome indicators, and measures1

d. Major achievements and outcomese. Challenges and related strategies f. Effectiveness of interventions at achieving SMART objectives

2) Process Evaluation

Process Evaluation is required for all funded SNAP-Ed program components. Types of evaluations are defined in the Evaluation section of the MFF Programming and Operations Manual.

Please limit this section of the report to no more than (5) single-sided pages, excluding materials, photos, etc. Copies of program materials, photos, quotes, or short vignettes that illustrate your program are encouraged and can be attached to this report as appendices.

a. Were program amendments approved for your SNAP-Ed program in FY17? If yes, please describe.

c. Please describe the fidelity of your evidence-based intervention(s) (program fidelity means that the intervention was implemented as designed). In some cases, you may have had to adapt the original evidence-based intervention to meet the needs of your target audience. Under such circumstances, please indicate what changes were made, how they were implemented, and how they were evaluated.

d. Summarize project feedback, solicited and unsolicited, from participants and program staff. Describe the steps taken to obtain feedback. Describe how feedback was used to inform programming.
