Project Participation

ERME defines project participation in two ways:

1. Number of Project Participants – This is an unduplicated count. An individual is counted only once, even though they may have participated in multiple educational sessions.

2. Educational Contacts – This is a duplicated count. An individual is counted every time they participate in one or more of your educational sessions.

Number of Participants

Enter the total number of unique participants (unduplicated count) in your project. This number should reflect the individuals who had meaningful engagement in your programming, and whose participation you have documented/verified.

Please note that the “Educational Contacts” section provides separate tabs to report participation via in-person meetings, webinars, and online courses. There is also a tab for reporting website visits. If your project has extended its reach through materials posted online and you have analytics identifying their utilization, please include that information in either the “Project Summary” or the “Project Reflection” sections of your report.
