USDA/Tufts THIS-WIC Webinar: Unpacking the Evaluation

THIS-WICis a collaboration between the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University School of Medicine, Old Dominion University, the American Telemedicine Association, and RTI International.THIS-WICis supported by an Advisory Board of experts with experience in WIC programming, WIC research, and telehealth.

USDA/Tufts Telehealth Intervention Strategies for WIC (THIS-WIC)

During this webinar, The THIS-WIC team will clarify roles and expectations related to the evaluation of the telehealth solutions and will give potential applicants an opportunity to ask questions of the THIS-WIC team.
 
Background information:
 
THIS-WIC will lead the evaluation of the projects in collaboration with the funded WIC SAs. Applicants do not need to be research experts or have prior experience in evaluation, but will be expected to work with the THIS-WIC team to finalize the evaluation design for funded projects and to provide data necessary to evaluate the impact, feasibility, and acceptability of the intervention.
 
Throughout the project period, THIS-WIC will build WIC SAs evaluation capacity through trainings, webinars, and direct communication (see more information below in Expectations for Funded WIC SAs). WIC SAs can use grant funding to support current staff or hire new staff needed to carry out evaluation-related activities. Throughout implementation and evaluation of the funded projects, USDA WIC program requirements will be met (i.e., usual WIC care; resources will not be withheld from participants).
 
A key goal of THIS-WIC is to generate robust evidence of effective strategies for implementing telehealth solutions in WIC. Learnings from THIS-WIC research will help improve WIC services for participating SAs and help them to ensure high-quality programming and program access. These applied research findings will also inform other WIC SAs and local agencies more broadly on ways to meet program needs of the evolving WIC participant population.
