Planning and Evaluation Core

摘要：规划与评估核心 根据我们消除佛罗里达、加州和全国癌症健康差距的长期目标， 佛罗里达大学（UF）、佛罗里达农工大学（FAMU）和南加州大学（USC） 已经形成了一个三位一体的伙伴关系，建立佛罗里达州-加利福尼亚州癌症研究，教育和 参与（CARE 2）健康公平中心。CARE 2健康计划的规划和评估核心（PEC） 公平中心将实施系统的规划和评估计划，指导方案的改进， 记录问责制和有效性。PEC的具体目标是：（1）提供有效的规划 （2）为评估CARE 2中心的活动提供有效的规划， （3）确定CARE 2中心的有效性; 行政和领导活动、机构间关系、社区外展、合作研究， 研究培训和指导，以及共享资源;（4）综合评估活动，为战略提供信息 规划和确定优先事项，并指导未来活动的方向;以及（5）评估 辅导和培训代表性不足的少数民族学生和早期研究人员（ESI）。使用清晰 评估每个核心和项目成果的指标，PEC将通过以下方式支持CARE 2中心的目标： 提供指导和监督，以确保持续的质量改进。2010年的预期成果 PEC是：（1）证据记录奖学金活动的成功和UF之间的跟踪过程， FAMU和南加州大学科学家;（2）记录季度网络会议的有效性， 年度面对面务虚会;（3）社会网络分析的结果，记录了科学领域的变化， （4）评估目标、活动和目标之间的一致性， 跨核心的成果;（5）布朗博士（FAMU ESI）作为一个计划的增长的培训成果措施 FAMU的评估员。

ABSTRACT: PLANNING & EVALUATION CORE In line with our long-term goal to eliminate cancer health disparities in Florida, California and nationally, the University of Florida (UF), Florida A&M University (FAMU) and University of Southern California (USC) have formed a triad partnership to establish the Florida-California Cancer Research, Education & Engagement (CaRE2) Health Equity Center. The Planning and Evaluation Core (PEC) of the CARE2 Health Equity Center will implement a systematic planning and assessment plan that guides program improvement and document accountability, and effectiveness. The specific aims of the PEC are to: (1) Provide effective planning and tracking of partnership activities (2) Provide effective planning for the assessment of CaRE2 Center's partnership by the Program Steering Committee; (3) Determine the effectiveness of the CaRE2 Center's administrative and leadership activities, inter-institutional relations, community outreach, collaborative research, research training and mentoring, and shared resources; (4) Synthesize evaluation activities to inform strategic planning and priority setting as well as guide directions of future activities; and (5) Assess the effectiveness of mentoring and training of underrepresented minority students and Early Stage Investigators (ESIs). Using clear metrics to assess the outcomes of each core and project, PEC will support the aims of the CaRE2 Center by providing the guidance and oversight to ensure continuous quality improvement. The expected outcomes for the PEC are: (1) evidence documenting the success of scholarship activities and tracking processes among UF, FAMU and USC scientists; (2) documentation of the effectiveness of the quarterly web-based meetings and annual face-to-face retreat; (3) findings from the social network analysis that documents changes in scientific collaborations across the CaRE2 Center; (4) assessment of the congruence between objectives, activities, and outcomes across the cores; and (5) training outcome measures of Dr. Brown's (FAMU ESI) growth as a program evaluator for FAMU.
