NSF IUCRC Evaluation Project

摘要EEC-9614745灰色 自其作为正式计划成立以来，NSF IUCRC计划的独特特征之一就是致力于系统和客观的评估工作。 随着多年的发展，评估工作在很大程度上依赖于IUCRC每个中心的独立现场评估人员收集的标准化数据。 本提案的目的是支持这些评估活动，并为NSF提供对过程和结果的全项目分析。 建立在地方评价人员国家网络基础上的评价系统需要大量的支持和协调。 尽管NSF工作人员和“评估者协调委员会”提供的支持和协调对该计划的成功至关重要，但这些机制不足以满足该计划的需要。 目前，国际儿童权利联合会的评估员网络包括代表55个中心和大约75个机构的34名个人。 该提案有两个主要目标：支持和协调I/UCRC评估员国家网络的活动;根据通过评估收集的数据，为NSF提供全项目范围的分析。

ABSTRACT EEC-9614745 GRAY Since its inception as a formal program, one of the unique characteristics of the NSF IUCRC Program has been its commitment to a systematic and objective evaluation effort. As it has evolved over the years, the evaluation effort relies heavily on standardized collection of data by independent on-site evaluators at every IUCRC Center. The purpose of this proposal is to both support these evaluation activities and provide NSF with program-wide analyses of processes and outcomes. An evaluation system built upon a national network of local evaluators requires a considerable amount of support and coordination. Although the support and coordination provided by NSF staff and the "evaluators coordinating committee" are essential to the program's success, these mechanisms have not been adequate to meet the needs of the program. At the current time, the IUCRC network of evaluators involves over 34 individuals representing over 55 Centers and approximately 75 institutions. This proposal has two primary objectives: to support and coordinate the actives of the national network of the I/UCRC evaluators; to provide NSF with program-wide analyses based on data collected through the evaluation.
