Behavioral health grant evaluation

CCBHC & SAMHSA Evaluation Support

Evaluation expertise for complex behavioral health grants, from implementation through performance reporting and continuous improvement.

EvalUit supports CCBHC grantees and other SAMHSA-funded behavioral health programs in translating award-specific requirements into evaluation plans, workable measurement processes, validated reporting, and useful learning. The scope is tailored to each grant and its current instructions.

Support across the grant lifecycle

Evaluation that connects the parts.

A useful evaluation function links grant requirements, measurement, data quality, reporting, and CQI so teams can explain results and decide what to do next.

01

Evaluation planning & design

Grant-specific evaluation frameworks, logic models, evaluation questions, performance indicators, data sources, work plans, and reporting plans.

02

Client-level performance measurement

Support for client-level data collection workflows, completeness and accuracy checks, preparation, reconciliation, and interpretation when required by the award.

03

Clinic-level quality measures

Review measure specifications, numerator and denominator rules, exclusions, reporting periods, data sources, and sampling requirements when specified.

04

SAMHSA reporting & data validation

Prepare reporting workflows, validate submissions against source records, investigate discrepancies, and document decisions using current grant instructions.

05

Federal reporting transitions

Advisory support for GPRA/NOMs-to-SUPRT transitions and related changes when applicable to the grant, including codebook alignment and historical-data reconciliation.

06

Performance monitoring & CQI

Connect performance indicators and quality measures to dashboards, review routines, findings, improvement actions, and follow-up measurement.

07

Evaluation readiness & technical assistance

Clarify responsibilities, controls, documentation, reporting calendars, and evidence needed to support reliable performance reporting and grant oversight.

Who we support

For behavioral health teams doing complex grant work.

Support can be scoped for CCBHC-PDI and CCBHC-IA grantees, other SAMHSA-funded programs, behavioral health providers, and organizations preparing for grant implementation or reporting transitions.

Start with your award’s requirements

Reporting assignments and evaluation expectations can differ across awards. Work begins with the applicable NOFO, Notice of Award, amendments, current system resources, and grant-specific instructions. No reporting tool or indicator is assumed to apply universally.
