Through a dynamic collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s DEVISE (Developing, Validating and Implementing Situated Evaluations) project and Harvard Medical School’s Program in Education, Afterschool, and Resiliency (PEAR), we intend to test and validate existing, new, or modified instruments in afterschool settings and in projects that engage the public in scientific research (sometimes referred to as “citizen science”). Results from the evaluations will be made available via an online toolkit and searchable database of valid and reliable assessment tools
