The proposal submitted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison is aimed at designing a conceptual framework to assess the effectiveness of the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), including the collection and reporting of evidence on the value of the program. The framework will describe the evidence needed to make judgments about the effectiveness of EPSCoR to meet its goals, the important evaluation questions, the evidence that needs to be produced, how this evidence will be collected from the jurisdictions, the analytic models that need to be used to attribute outcomes to the program's activities, and the format that will be used for reporting findings. It will include an annual timeline for acquiring evidence and will identify the needed instruments and procedures for collecting this evidence.The pursued framework will be developed with significant input from local leaders of the program's 27 jurisdictions. Input from EPSCoR's leaders will be obtained through their participation in a series of regional evaluation workshops currently being organized by the EPSCoR Office, and technical assistance in the field provided by evaluation experts. Dr. Norman Webb, Senior Research Scientist, Wisconsin Center for Education Research, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Dr. Rose Shaw, President of Metrica, Greeley, Colorado, will provide the necessary technical assistance and will be responsible for the development of the aforementioned framework. Dr. Webb will oversee the writing of the framework. Dr. Shaw will serve as an evaluation specialist and will provide significant input to developing the framework

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校提交的提案旨在设计一个概念框架，以评估刺激竞争研究实验计划（EPSCoR）的有效性，包括收集和报告有关该计划价值的证据。 该框架将描述对EPSCoR实现其目标的有效性做出判断所需的证据，重要的评估问题，需要产生的证据，如何从司法管辖区收集这些证据，需要用于将结果归因于计划活动的分析模型，以及用于报告结果的格式。 它将包括一个年度时间轴，用于获取证据，并将确定所需的工具和程序，收集这一证据。追求的框架将制定与该计划的27个管辖区的地方领导人的重要投入。 将通过参加目前正在由该办事处组织的一系列区域评价讲习班以及评价专家在实地提供的技术援助，获得该办事处领导人的投入。 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校威斯康星州教育研究中心高级研究科学家Norman Webb博士和科罗拉多格里利Metrica总裁Rose Shaw博士将提供必要的技术援助，并负责制定上述框架。 韦伯博士将监督框架的编写。 Shaw博士将担任评估专家，并将为制定框架提供重要投入
