摘要/摘要 拉美裔临床和翻译联盟跟踪和评估核心(TEC)的目标 研究(联盟)是在评估中实施稳健和示范性的实践、方法和标准 增强联盟能力和绩效。TEC的目标是：1)评估联盟 运营结构；2)评估联盟支持的临床和转化性研究的影响 研究；3)评估社区参与和融入联盟活动；4)评估预算， 联盟资源和活动的使用、质量、体验和影响。TEC将建立高评价 通过整合参与和利用评价方法，提高联盟伙伴关系机构的能力， 持续质量改进(CQI)框架和组织发展计划，通过 让利益攸关方积极参与拟议的监测和评价活动。 TEC的具体目标是：1)进行全面的内部评估计划，以评估 联盟短期和长期目标的进展；2)整合混合研究方法和创新 跟踪和监测联盟管理、活动、资源和成果的方法；以及3)使用 方案目标的结果和成就，以告知干预措施，以加强能力和 联盟的表现。为了实现这些目标，TEC将使用逻辑模型的理论框架， 评估、管理和实施计划(MIP)以及翻译科学利益模型 (TSBM)评估联盟的进展和成果；应用定量和定性研究方法，CQI 方法、集中的跟踪和评价数据储存库，以及退货等创新办法 投资和社交网络分析。技术咨询委员会还将进行形成性和总结性评价，并 提供组织发展建议、指导和倡议。TEC方法的创新将 通过评估文化动员核心团队，以成功完成联盟和 对可应用于其他多站点的最佳评估实践做出原创性贡献 基础设施项目。

Abstract/Summary The goal of the Tracking and Evaluation Core (TEC) of the Hispanic Alliance for Clinical and Translational Research (Alliance) is to implement robust and exemplary practices, methods, and standards in evaluation to strengthen Alliance capacity and performance. The objectives of TEC are to: 1) assess the Alliance operational structure; 2) evaluate the impact of clinical and translational research of Alliance supported research; 3) evaluate community participation and integration into Alliance activities; and 4) assess the budget, use, quality, experiences, and impact of the Alliance resources and activities. TEC will build high evaluation capacity in Alliance partnering institutions by integrating the Participatory and Utilization Evaluation Approach, Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) frameworks, and Organizational Development Initiatives through actively involving stakeholders in the proposed monitoring and evaluation activities. The Specific Aims of TEC are to: 1) conduct a comprehensive internal evaluation plan for assessing progress on Alliance short-term and long-term goals; 2) integrate mixed research methods and innovative approaches to track and monitor Alliance management, activities, resources and outcomes; and 3) use outcomes and achievements of the program goals to inform interventions to strengthen capacity and performance of the Alliance. To achieve these aims, TEC will use the theoretical framework of logic models, evaluation and management and implementation plans (MIPs), and Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) to assess Alliance progress and outcomes; apply quantitative and qualitative research methods, CQI methods, a centralized tracking and evaluation data repository, and innovative approaches such as Return on Investment, and Social Network Analysis. TEC will also conduct formative and summative evaluations and provide organizational development advice, coaching and initiatives. The innovation of TEC approaches will mobilize core teams through an evaluation culture to successfully accomplish the mission of the Alliance and make an original contribution of the best evaluation practices that can be applied to other multisite infrastructure programs.
