National Programs and National Program Offices

Most grants are awarded through a call for proposals issued for a national program. National programs typically make grants to multiple project sites that are working toward a similar goal, although individual objectives of the sites may vary. The sites usually interact with an intermediary organization called a national program office—and with each other. National programs are often evaluated by an independent third-party evaluator.

National program offices usually:

• Manage the selection process—generally involving a national advisory committee that recommends sites for funding.
• Monitor site performance.
• Provide technical assistance to sites.
• Provide field building support work.
• Provide coordination services to sites to achieve specific purposes.
