Answer to Question 1

Ans: C, D, E
Feedback:
Organizers of a coalition should do the following: (1) Make use of the expertise of individual members by asking for their help and input on matters directly related to their field. (2) Seek out people with a range of opinions and roles in the community. Find out who has been a valuable member of previous community coalitions or teams. (3) Consider how each member of a coalition and the organization or group he or she represents will benefit from the work of the coalition. (4) Understand group dynamics and remember that people agree to serve on coalitions in exchange for more than feeling good about helping address a community issue. (5) Try to have a heterogeneous group but one in which members are able to show mutual respect and listen to each other's ideas without criticism of the person.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Accountability includes regular communication about how funds were used, details of program activities, and progress toward achieving program goals. Proof that the program can be reproduced effectively in other settings would establish program replication but would not be required for accountability. An explanation of how the program will be funded after grant funding expires would support the program's sustainability but would not be required for accountability.
