GRANT LEADERSHIP INTERVIEW PROTOCOL
Thank you for participating in this interview for the Creative Forces Community Engagement
Grant Program Evaluation. This study is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. We are
interested in your perspectives of the grant program –the extent to which the grant program
has rolled out as intended, what is going well, what challenges there have been, and any
lessons learned or recommendations you have. Your perspectives will contribute to the
evaluation, as well as lessons that can be shared with the communities providing community
arts engagement or programming for military-connected individuals. Our conversation is
confidential. The information you share with me will be integrated with interviews across all
programs and your name will not be shared outside of our conversation. Participation in this
interview is voluntary, and you can skip any question or quit at any time. The interview will take
about 30 minutes.
