A Cross-site Analysis of the Data from Revised Historical Profiles of Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers

行业/大学的评价部分 合作研究中心计划要求评估， 每年为每个中心撰写历史简介。 因为 评估人员使用的许多不同格式和结构 在撰写历史文献时， 对历史配置文件协议和结构的分析是 设计了 本研究针对第一波的跨站点分析 从这一修订的历史概况中收集的数据。 的 研究将：1）评估易用性，时间要求， 全面性、当地效用和其他执行问题 在修订的历史概况中，2）总结主要主题 和调查结果在每个历史概况部分， 评估进行跨站点分析的能力; 3）使用 数据库，以回答有关中心运营的具体问题， 成果。 首席研究员和其他研究人员是 公认的评估理论和协议专家。 项目经理建议克雷格布莱克利博士 14,440美元，为期一年（1），用于该项目。

The evaluation component of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center Program requires the evaluation to write a historical profile for each center each year. Because of the many different formats and structures used by the evaluators in writing the historical documents, a rigorous cross-site analysis of the historical profile protocol and structure was designed. This study addresses a cross-site analysis of the first wave of data collected from this revised historical profiles. The study will; 1) assess the ease of use, time requirements, comprehensiveness, local utility and other implementation issues of the revised historical profiles, 2) summarize the major themes and findings in each of the historical profiles sections to assess the ability to do cross-site analysis and 3) use the database to answer specific questions about Center operations and outcomes. The Principal Investigator and other researchers are recognized experts in evaluation theories and protocol. The Program Manger recommends that Dr. Craig Blakely be awarded $14,440 for one (1) year for this project.
