Grant Overview

Evaluating Outcomes of Cannabis Equity Initiatives

As the cannabis industry matures, the need for rigorous evaluation of equity initiatives becomes increasingly critical to ensure that these programs achieve their intended social impact. This funding provides resources aimed at conducting targeted research to assess the outcome of cannabis equity initiatives, focusing on metrics such as employment rates, revenue growth for minority-owned cannabis businesses, and overall community investment. The funding covers research design, data collection processes, and analysis, while excluding funding for unrelated business activities or general operational costs of organizations.

A specific use case for this funding is a research institution that intends to evaluate the success of a local cannabis equity program by examining employment outcomes for participants who have received support in acquiring cannabis business licenses. By tracking these metrics, the institution can provide evidence-based recommendations for program adjustments. Another instance could involve a regional agency seeking to assess the economic impact of minority-owned cannabis dispensaries on their communities, gathering evidence to advocate for policy changes.

Eligible applicants should primarily consist of research institutions, universities, and organizations focused on assessing social impact, particularly within the realm of cannabis equity. Entities that do not demonstrate a clear focus on evaluating cannabis-related programs may find themselves ineligible. Additionally, applications that do not include a robust methodology or cannot show community relevance may not be favored.

The evaluation process must focus on standardized metrics related to equity and economic justice, ensuring that research outcomes contribute valuable knowledge towards establishing best practices. Successful proposals should highlight the intended impact of evaluation efforts and the potential for insights that may inform policy and program design.
