Annexes

 

Theme-specific evaluation

Role in the project

Description of the task area

Comparison with the project proposal

Role in the project becomes apparent (consortium partner knows own role and can differentiate it from other roles)

Application orientation / "view for practice" (definition and description of target groups; if known, it is described)

Classification of the subtasks within the area of tasks

Is the subtask visible as part of the task area (embedded vs. subtasks)

Scientific / specialist background

Presentation and justification of the basic principles (if applicable: guidelines, standards, laws, theories, experience, etc.)

Context of the tasks comprehensible

Comparison with project proposal

Goals

Project reference, embedding in the task area (if necessary, use table)

Milestone vs. additional goals

Definition of the goals: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, terminated (‘SMART’ principle)

Ways to achieve aims / measures

Explanation of content and transparent justification, comprehensible

achievement of goals (can this measure achieve this goal?)

Representations are intersubjectively comprehensible

Type of measure (sub-measure)

Results

Transparent presentation of the results (partial results)

Were the (quarterly) goals achieved?

How many goals are there with no result? Are there goals without a result?

Existence of deviations

Description of deviations

Evaluation and handling of deviations for the achievement of individual goals and milestones

Measures and solutions for the deviations

Planned changes

Description of the changes

Evaluation and handling for the achievement of goals and milestones

Measures and approaches regarding the changes

Further procedure / future orientation

Description of the planned milestones and goals (and planned measures, if any)

Comparison with project proposal

Comprehensible justification for additional goals

Focusing and prioritising of topics (qualitative)

Which topics are in focus (occur how often in the sense of unconscious prioritization)

Cooperation with the consortium partners (dependencies etc.)

Scheduling / project meetings

Implicit, conscious or unconscious communication content

Institutional traces (author / non-writer) / institutional exhibition (Goffman, 1972), Personal and institutional intentions in the presentation—documentary method

If applicable, which topics are not mentioned (or not addressed actively)

Contradictions

Text vs. traffic light (milestones vs. task description)

Orientation towards guideline S3 Psycho-oncology (overarching embedding)

 

Document comparison ("conversation between documents"; intra and inter)

Contradictions

 

Cooperation (mutual naming of the consortium partners)

 

Timeline: Course of a consortium partner (internal)

Comparison of the subtasks

Do the tasks build on each other?

Are the tasks embedded?

Conclusion

Concise assessment as a consequence of previous analyses
