The Washington Broadband Technology Opportunity Program (BTOP) is providing grants ranging from $18,938 to $50,288 to 24 community technology centers (CTC) located in the state of Washington. The grants provide support for hands-on technology access and training for low-income and underserved residents. As a condition of the grant, recipients are required to complete periodic reporting on their activities. For this purpose, an evaluation framework was developed that ties domain-specific inputs and activities to outputs and impacts and relates the WA BTOP grants evaluations to the Community Technology Impact Measurement Process Model. Consistent with this framework, a web-based survey was developed to track grantees. The survey asked grantees to:

1. Identify stakeholders and their reasons for needing or using the CTC.
2. Identify the policy issues confronting the community in which the CTC works.
3. Report the inputs available or added.
4. Report activities that address policy issues or stakeholder needs across the six WA BTOP domains (technology skills enhancement, employment skills and opportunities, educational enhancement, access to information and services, and life skills and social inclusion).
5. Report outputs (i.e., the number of persons participating in activities).
6. Measure and report impacts by tracking the numbers of persons whose needs have been successfully addressed.
