Project Evaluation

Evaluation plans are developed for each of the project's major demonstration sites, with evaluation activities identified for each level of a five-tier evaluation model. Logic model methodology is also applied. The plans are jointly developed by the local project staff and the Oregon Outreach project evaluator, reviewed by the project director, and periodically updated. The project evaluator works with the local project staff to implement the plans, including the development and review of evaluation instruments, the processing of instruments and protocols through the Oregon State University IRB (Institutional Review Board) system, and the analysis, interpretation, and reporting of evaluation data.

The project evaluator and the project director work closely together since the evaluation is closely aligned with project management and implementation. Program outcomes related to organizational change and accumulated data across program sites are documented by both the project evaluator and the project director.
