This project is designed to build evaluation capacity among agricultural, environmental education, and natural resource management organizations. The mechanism for achieving this goal is an intensive summer institute in program evaluation. The lack of courses addressing the contexts in which the target professionals work produced the demand for the training. Development of training materials including videotapes, case studies, and readings as well as summer salaries and scholarship support for participants with demonstrated financial need are the primary funding requirements. Faculty leaders in evaluation and in the relevant disciplines will collaborate in the project. The workshop focus addresses core competencies of all evaluators and unique content with respect to multidisciplinary subject matter, indicators and standards for monitoring in the target contexts, and hand-on minds-on instructional strategies. The unique collaboration provides an opportunity for capacity building joining STEM disciplines and evaluation methodologists in development of context-relevant training.

该项目旨在建立农业、环境教育和自然资源管理组织的评价能力。实现这一目标的机制是一个密集的暑期项目评估机构。由于缺乏针对目标专业人员工作环境的课程，产生了对培训的需求。 开发培训材料，包括录像带、案例研究和阅读材料，以及为有经济需要的参与者提供夏季工资和奖学金支持，是主要的资金需求。 评估和相关学科的教师领导将在该项目中进行合作。讲习班的重点是所有评价人员的核心能力和关于多学科主题、目标背景下监测指标和标准的独特内容，以及动手动脑的教学战略。这种独特的合作为STEM学科和评估方法学家提供了能力建设的机会，以开发与背景相关的培训。
