The UC ANR Impact StoryMap highlights measured changes in conditions resulting from programmatic efforts and serves as evidence of benefit to the public. This StoryMap is intended for an internal audience to help us find and learn from examples of how UCCE advisors, specialists and other academics have documented economic, social, health or environmental impact.
Measured changes in conditions are identified by UC ANR Public Value in the interactive map. This map includes all the changes in condition from the Condition Change Impact Stories compilations from 2018-2021 and will be updated every year. You can click each dot on the map to see more information about the related story and impact. The identified locations are the county offices where the academic who reported the outcome is located.
Please note that data on location where the changes in conditions occur are not currently available. For example, if a UCCE advisor serves more than one county, the dot will be in the county where the advisor is based while the project may be in a different county. The Program Planning and Evaluation team may investigate ways to collect location information for potential future iterations of the map to show external audiences where impacts occur.
As you scroll through the StoryMap, you'll see highlighted examples of UC ANR's impact for each Condition Change.
You can use this tool to:
1) See how your colleagues are measuring a change in condition that you are interested in changing.
2) See how your nearby colleagues are measuring benefits to community in your area.
Leadership and government relations can also glean local impact stories that have significant condition changes for strategic communications and advocacy.
