Collaborative models of evaluation build capacity to conduct local program evaluations through practitioner-evaluator partnerships. Shulha and colleagues (2016) introduced eight evidence-based, interconnected principles to serve as a guide for collaborative models of evaluation (Shulha, Whitmore, Cousins, Gilbert, al Hudib, 2016). Using these established principles, the purpose of this study is to illustrate each principle with examples from a centralized evaluation process created by university researchers, Extension faculty, and state agencies for the Strengthening Families Program for Parents and Youth 10-14 (SFP), a preventive family intervention. This poster will briefly describe the development and operation of the evaluation system, provide examples of collaborative evaluation from over two-decades of dissemination of SFP, and offer lessons-learned for the field.
