Request for Proposal:
Process and Outcome Evaluation of the
Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to solicit proposals from consultants
interested in bidding on a project to develop and implement an
evaluation plan on the process and outcomes of the Chronic Disease
Prevention Alliance of Canada initiative.
BACKGROUND
The Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance of Canada (CDPAC) is a
coalition of organizations who share a common vision for integrated
chronic disease prevention in Canada. The CDPAC was constituted in
2001 to foster and help sustain a co-ordinated, countrywide movement
for an integrated, population health approach to chronic disease
prevention through collaborative leadership, advocacy and capacity
building. In June 2002, the CDPAC received the Voluntary Sector
Initiative contribution agreement and a Population Health grant from
Health Canada that enabled CDPAC to continue the process of engaging
stakeholders at national and provincial levels. A Secretariat was set
up in Ottawa to support this work.
The CDPAC Steering Committee, made up of seven organizations [1] will
focus initially on the following chronic diseases: cardiovascular,
diabetes, and cancer; and on the following risk- factors: tobacco use
and exposure, physical inactivity and unhealthy eating. These
diseases and risk factors will be addressed within a population health
approach and with an understanding of underlying determinants of
health. Eventually, based on lessons learned and further stakeholder
input, the plan is to broaden the scope by including additional risk
factors and chronic diseases. CDPAC will link together and build upon
existing initiatives in a coordinated and synergistic way.
DELIVERABLES
Phase One - January 22 to March 25, 2003
· Attend January 25, 2003 Steering Committee (SC) meeting in
Ottawa for half day.
· Develop an evaluation plan for CDPAC, based on the objectives
developed for current funding requirements and the established
long-term goals. The plan should include broad evaluation issues,
specific evaluation questions, the proposed methodology, timing and
deliverables. The plan should be accompanied by a description of the
CDPAC initiative in the form of a logic model.
· Achieve consensus on the evaluation plan with pan-Canadian
team leaders and SC members for CDPAC through telephone interviews (22
individuals - 4 in Toronto area, 3 in Ottawa, one individual in each
province and territory).
· Provide approved evaluation plan to CDPAC - mid-February
2003.
Phase Two - April 2003 to January 2004
· Implement the approved evaluation plan for data collection,
analysis and recommendations for future action.
· Provide three written progress reports in (approximately June
2003, October 2003 and January 2004.
· Meet (in person or by telephone) with CDPAC Secretariat and
representatives from the Steering Committee to review progress, as
required.
· Adapt the evaluation plan as necessary to reflect
process-related shifts. CDPAC will attempt to keep this to a minimum
but given the evolutionary nature of the organization, an iterative
process may be necessary.
Phase Three - February to March 2004
· Complete final analysis of data, compilation of
recommendations related to evaluation questions, and complete
evaluation report by March 20, 2004.
· Present evaluation results to Steering Committee
