ORGANIZE
A scientific inquiry entails a considerable amount of money to
cover maintenance and operating expenses, equipment outlay and
personnel services. For instance, in the United States, federal
research and development funding accounts for sources with total
expenditures of $26.3 billion in 1998.

Impact
(pertains to changes in state or condition of beneficiaries)
Intermediate Outcome

activities)

In contrast, outcomes may be defined as observable changes
that are relevant to the fulfillment of the objectives. An outcome could
have multiple outputs. However, the outcomes are beyond the
control of the actual inquiry process.

activities. The activities account for the courses of action to generate
data or data collection methods, as well as access to various data
sources. The RBM Framework also calls for a data collection plan
that provides details concerning people responsible for data
gathering and the timeframe or schedule within which to complete
the data collection.
But how are you really going to make use of the performance
indicator to express or prove that you have achieved something or
that something has changed? It is in this regard that you also gather
baseline data or prevailing data prior to the start of the program or
research project. Such use of data permits a comparison of the
situation before and after the research project or inquiry. You can
make use of data from related studies to serve as baseline
information.

Evaluation
Evaluation is the final important aspect of the RBM Framework. In this stage, you
are to make assessments about the results of the research, and then communicate
these results to stakeholders.
