Evaluating Research Centers for Success! Available May 7th.
We are pleased to announce that the updated version of the Payoff will be available by May 7th. The new volume is Evaluating Research Centers for Success! The volume updates all source materials and innovations in evaluation methods for consortium and complex centers. The book includes eight case studies in evaluating research centers with training exercises for staff meetings and seminars. The volume includes twenty forms comprising nearly 300 evaluative questions important for process, outcome, and cost benefit evaluations. It includes benchmark criteria based on responses from well over 200 center directors from a national NSF grant funded survey conducted by the author.
Comming in December:
1. Software and disc to enter your center data for comparisons on benchmark criteria with a sample of national centers 2. Case studies of twenty five top centers (and how they got there), along with evaluation exercises to measure success.
My best to you, as you update your center evaluations techniques, and prepare your own evaluations for success! William Tash, Professor , Temple University
