I saw an example of exactly this today from an independent sports program that partnered with the county public schools, repeating that the outcome measure was that they "provided this opportunity"; that "meetings were held"; that "students received flyers", etc. etc.

Now I understand that which confused me thanks to this article. Kudos!

Of course if the purpose of the grant was to fund a sports program and to publicize it with flyers, then these would indeed be the outcomes sought. Not every program is a research program.
