Planning and Evaluation Core

3.C.规划和评价核心 全国有色人种协进会在过去的供资期间制定并完善了有效的规划和评价办法。这些方法包括：一个协作的多个参与者执行委员会结构，一个强大而活跃的内部咨询委员会;一个系统的方法来为合作者和整个NACP举行会议和互动;一个全面的、有重点的、以成果为导向的评价系统，以及利用评价数据不断改进3.B.中所述的NACP活动;一个有效和富有成效的结构，以征求新的研究项目和潜在的研究参与者;和一个有才华的，从事 计划指导委员会（PSC），其建议被采纳并纳入伙伴关系计划。独立审计咨询委员会负责监督内部规划和评价。 1.评估新的研究计划和项目的建议。 2.对所有正在进行的项目和计划提供半年度反馈和年度评估，以了解实现目标的总体进展情况，并提出继续、将试点推广到全面计划或终止的建议。临时咨询委员会的建议转交和平与安全理事会。 3.就加强项目和开发新机会提出建议。 4.评估潜在的新调查人员、资源和基础设施，以促进NACP和伙伴机构的目标。 国际咨询委员会的遴选程序：向执行委员会（EC）提交国际咨询委员会的候选人。欧盟委员会每年审查委员会的成员资格，以确定其是否符合伙伴关系的目标和方向，并在必要时提名新成员。成员由联系PI选择。 除了NACP的年度方案指导委员会会议和夏季会议外，IAC每年正式举行两次会议。他们一年两次的会议的目的是为研究人员提供机会，介绍他们的工作，伙伴关系成员面对面，提供进度报告的计划，以及整个集团讨论来年的优先事项。我们的年度秋季IAC会议允许IAC成员评估和提供反馈意见，目前资助的方案和项目，并为今年的计划。在我们的年度早春IAC会议上，讨论了进展情况、新提案评估和年度PSC会议的筹备工作。临时咨询委员会向两次会议提交详细报告，执行委员会/共同领导人对反馈意见和建议作出回应。临时咨询委员会的成员继续演变，重点是确保提供出色的机构支持和尽可能最好的专家指导。 在这两个机构，我们使用IAC，以帮助确保从美洲原住民的适当指导，通过利用特别顾问对美洲原住民事务的总统和那些谁最了解部落主权的影响和相关问题的研究合作;这最后一个主题是在亚利桑那州由于哈瓦苏派诉董事会亚利桑那州案件的后果特别关注。我们加强了IAC审查年度进展和个人研究活动的流程，并增加了一年一度的夏季研究会议，以确保核心领域的协同作用。

3.C. Planning and Evaluation Core NACP has developed and refined effective approaches to planning and evaluation over the past funding period. These approaches include: a collaborative multiple PI executive committee structure, a strong and active Internal Advisory Committee (IAC); a systematic approach to meetings and interactions for collaborators and for NACP as a whole; a comprehensive, focused outcome oriented evaluation system and the use of evaluation data in continuous improvement of NACP's activities described in 3.B.; an efficient and productive structure for soliciting new research projects and potential research participants; and a talented, engaged Program Steering Committee (PSC) whose advice is acted upon and incorporated in Partnership plans. The IAC is responsible for the oversight of internal planning and evaluation. 1. Evaluate proposals for new research programs and projects. 2. Provide semi-annual feedback and annual evaluation of all on-going projects and programs for overall progress towards goals and make recommendations to continue, to promote pilot to full program, or to terminate. Recommendations of the IAC are forwarded to the PSC. 3. Make recommendations on strengthening programs and developing new opportunities. 4. Evaluate potential new investigators, resources and infrastructure for the potential to contribute to the goals of NACP and to the partner institutions. The selection process for the IAC: Candidates for the IAC are presented to the Executive Committee (EC). EC reviews the IAC membership annually for congruence with partnership goals and directions and when needed nominates new members. Members are chosen by the Contact PIs. The IAC formally meets twice a year in addition to NACP's annual Program Steering Committee Meeting and Summer Conference. The purpose of their bi-annual meetings is to provide opportunity for researchers to present their work, partnership members to meet face to face, programs to provide a progress report, and the group as a whole to discuss priorities for the coming year. Our annual fall IAC meeting allows IAC members to evaluate and provide feedback on currently funded programs and projects and plan for the year. At our annual early spring IAC meeting, progress, new proposal evaluations and preparations for the annual PSC meeting are discussed. The IAC submits detailed reports for both meetings and the Executive Committee/Co-leaders respond to feedback and recommendations. Membership on the IAC continues to evolve, with an emphasis on ensuring excellent institutional support and the best possible expert guidance. At both institutions we have used the IAC to help ensure appropriate guidance from Native Americans by utilizing the Special Advisors to the President on Native American Affairs and those who best understand the implications of Tribal sovereignty and related concerns in research collaborations; this last topic is of special concern in Arizona due to the aftermath of the Havasupai v. Arizona Board of Regents case. We have strengthened the process by which our IAC reviews annual progress and individual research activities, and added an annual summer Research Conference that ensures more synergy across the core areas.
