The Research, Technology and Development (RTD) Evaluation Topical Interest Group (TIG) within the American Evaluation Association has as its mission to advance the field of performance measurement and in-depth assessment of programs, particularly publicly funded RTD programs.
We provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, good practice, and emerging tools by:
- organizing the RTD portion of the AEA conference each year
- collecting and disseminating information related to good practice, as well as events of interest, and gray literature
