What is EARS? EARS is a reporting form – not a data collection tool It provides descriptive information and data, not outcome data Annual report of prior Fiscal Year’s activities and expenditures
Why do we need EARS? EARS has established uniform definitions for SNAP-Ed participants and contacts Data will provide a picture of SNAP-Ed activities on a state, regional and national level Allow for trend analysis over time Data will be available to respond to and support policy and legislative efforts
EARS will not meet all our needs… • EARS is one of several actions FNS has taken to enhance our understanding of State and local SNAP-Ed activities…it will not tell us everything. • It will NOT: • Replace the year end report. • Tell us about all aspects of SNAP-Ed. • Provide evaluation data.
