Describe the identified evaluation need, overall purpose and significance, and key literature that will inform the evaluation design. This section requires substantial integration of at least six credible sources from the empirical and gray literature. You can write sections B3-B5 in whatever order you want, as long as you cover all three.

Practice-Based Importance: What is happening within the agency and/or program that has created the need for an evaluation, and does it concern how the program is being offered (process evaluation) or the impact the program has on client outcomes (outcome evaluation)? Does the identified problem or situation pertain to all clients or is it more relevant for a particular client population? If the latter, why is that the case?

Agency Link. What impact do the issues of focus have on the agency's and worker's ability to effectively serve clients? Alternatively, what impact does this issue have on the client's ability (or interest) in attending, participating, or engaging in services? Make sure that there is an explicit link between the issue that you have identified and the agency mission.

Evidence-Based Importance: Provide a summary of what the research says about the process or outcome-related factors that your evaluation will focus on, with specific attention to studies conducted with a similar population and/or setting as yours. Discuss whether the studies on this topic consider racism and other forms of oppression. Describe how the studies you reviewed justify the focus and methods of your proposed evaluation.

Evaluation Question: End with a clear, precise evaluation question(s) that aligns with the proposed design and methods.
