Welcome to the Research, Technology and Development (RTD) Evaluation
Topical Interest Group website!

About Us

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.

Join the RTD TIG - All AEA members can join the RTD TIG as one of the five TIGs available to them (and non-AEA members can join AEA for just $80 a year).


Contribute to the e-Resources - You may upload documents to the RTD TIG e-library, or request the webmaster upload documents by using the "Contact Us" button below. 


Stop by the RTD TIG hospitality suite - During the annual conference, the RTD TIG offers a hospitality suite. Feel free to use the suite for meetings or just show up to meet fellow members of the RTD community!
