This panel explored the approaches used by U.S. universities to train graduate students in evaluation, and transition strategies to help students/new evaluators design their careers

Evaluators entering the world of Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) institutes are often struck by the complexity of evaluating these institutions. Each CTSA encompasses several cores, or research service providers (i.e., drug discovery and development, biomedical informatics, or community engagement), with drastically different focuses and, therefore, indicators of progress. Annually, evaluators are challenged with developing integrated reports for the National Institute of Health using data collected in the diverse CTSA cores. This poster presentation will first display how two new-to-CTSA evaluators tackled the task of understanding CTSAs

In this paper/presentation we seek to increase the likelihood of successfully implementing programs by proposing simple, cost-effective process evaluation methodologies for estimating the chances of program failure. The process evaluation methodologies we propose, methodologies that include 'voice of the crowd' and 'future search,' have been adopted widely in decision making situations ranging from strategic planning to the mutual learning and acquisition of values. But despite their affinity to empowerment, collaborative and participatory evaluation, these methods have not been widely utilized either in formative or process assessments

This report provides a detailed description of an evaluation, written by Judy Oakden, as part of the first BetterEvaluation writeshop process, led by Irene Guijt...Excerpt: Independent external evaluators generally have to work within a range of constraints
This paper/poster will present the results of an evaluation of the dynamical effects of an out-of-school-time program. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, an out-of-school-time program, known as 'Houston's Kids' or HK, was developed and implemented with the intention of addressing the needs of displaced and other at-risk children and youth in a single community. The outcomes evaluation that was designed to assess HK examined changes in developmental assets and values (www.searchInstitute.org) among the 625 individual kindergarten through high school children/youth program participants
