The Program Evaluation Team provides evaluation support to University of Rochester Faculty through both pre-award consultation and post-award collaboration. Whether you are developing a proposal or implementing a funded project, we partner with faculty to design meaningful evaluation approaches that align with project goals and funder expectations.
The Program Evaluation Team provides free consultation to Principal Investigators (PIs) developing proposals. The Program Evaluation Team will help develop a program evaluation plan, build appropriate evaluation budgets, and provide additional grant development support. We can also support the PI in securing and working with an external evaluator if required by the funder.
Increasingly, funders are welcoming projects to include program evaluators from the same institution, provided they are positioned in a separate unit. We welcome being included in project teams as senior personnel to lead evaluation and program improvement efforts. There are many advantages to include a program evaluator internal to the University of Rochester. We have a strong understanding of the structure, organization, climate, and processes.
Housed within the Warner School of Education and Human Development, the Program Evaluation Team is lead by nationally recognized experts in the field. Our team not only provides cutting-edge evaluation services but also leads the Program Evaluation graduate programs at Warner, shaping the next generation of evaluation professionals. With a strong presence in national and international professional associations, we are proud to contribute to advancing the field of program evaluation through research, practice, and thought leadership.
