This panel will address the use of logic models in environments that are highly complex, non-linear, process driven, and institutionally political. Drawing upon a representative sample of academic institutions receiving Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) from the National Institute of Health, four presenters will address the role of evaluation in CTSA settings that engender controversy and inquiry. Value conflicts such as the need for scientific rigor versus emergent design, outcome versus process evaluation, and empirical methods versus action research are all difficult to address using a logic model approach. Our presentations will involve using logic models to: 1) simultaneously evaluate outcomes and development; 2) integrate multiple constituencies for collaboration and a common vision; 3) develop and evaluate multidisciplinary teams in accordance with effective team science processes; and 4) utilize stakeholders and constituencies in the real-time design of evaluation tools to address relevance and dynamic institutional cultures. #2011Conference #HealthEvaluation
