• The NEBHANDS Evaluation Committee continued the process of evaluating grant activities, including selecting subaward organizations for case studies, collection of information about subward groups and effectiveness of technical assistance (see Attachment E for survey findings).

• NEBHANDS conducted a number of dissemination activities during the reporting period, including sending a weekly e-mail newsletter to Nebraska policymakers and organizations. We have also posted information on the NEBHANDS web site. In addition, NEBHANDS and many sub-awardees received coverage from local newspapers and other media outlets. Finally, Interchurch Ministries Nebraska continued to operate the NEBHANDS lending library.
