PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT: PLANNING AND EVALUATION CORE The Planning and Evaluation Core (PEC) will ensure that planning, monitoring, evaluation, and tracking of partnership activities will be comprehensive to the needs of the Meharry Medical College/Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center/Tennessee State University Cancer Partnership (MVTCP), and utilize evaluation activities to ensure that the MVTCP is successful in contributing to the broad goals of the Comprehensive Partnerships to Advance Cancer Health Equity (CPACHE) program. The information we garner through our evaluation processes will be used to guide the investment of resources into projects, programs, and institutional-level strategies such as recruitment and leveraging of resources that support the goals of the Partnership. At a time in which cancer health disparities and inequities in research and education remain as major barriers to improving health and quality-of-life for all, ensuring that the efforts of the MVTCP are successful is paramount. Conducting high-quality, continuous evaluation of the MVTCP provides the opportunity to document our efforts, measure our successes, and attend to our weaknesses for the purposes of program improvement. During the past funding cycle, the PEC worked with all cores of the MVTCP to develop logic models that are used to identify program theory, as well as the measurable outputs and outcomes of each core. The metrics identified through this process were then harmonized with the CPACHE-wide evaluation indicators to create an integrated outcome framework designed to capture the broader impact of the MVTCP. In the next funding cycle, we will build on this work to develop evaluation tools and processes to ensure high-quality implementation of funded projects, integration among projects and cores, and dissemination of methods and findings that demonstrate the impact of the MVTCP. The work of PEC will be guided by the following aims: 1) foster on-going coordination facilitated by the Administrative Core, with the Internal Advisory Committee and Program Steering Committee to ensure the MVTCP is receiving expert feedback and guidance on cores, projects, and the performance of the MVTCP as a whole; 2) use a combination of established and innovative evaluation techniques to assess the MVTCP and its accomplishment of short- and long-term goals; 3) develop a culture of evaluation within the MVTCP that is committed to the use of data to support decision making, drive quality improvement, and inform dissemination.
