Condition Change Indicators and Sources

Google spreadsheet - Use to identify condition change indicators that you can use to create a safe inference to connect your program outcomes to longer-term public benefits; for use in your impact writing (e.g., merit/promotion, UC Delivers, grant proposals/reports). The indicators are organized by ANR Public Values (one per sheet) and ANR Condition Changes (columns A of each sheet). This is a living document; it will continue to grow and please add your own indicators and sources!
