项目摘要

Developing Integrated Evaluation Capacity for DSU RISE Programs PROJECT DESCRIPTION In response to a call for supplemental funding to support evaluation capacity building within the NIH student training programs, we are proposing a project, referred to as Integrated Student Training Evaluation Program (IREP), designed to integrate our U-RISE program evaluation with the INBRE program evaluation to strengthen and align both efforts, increasing DSU’s evaluation capacity and sustainability. Although the U-RISE program has an evaluation component, the resources are not sufficient to integrate INBRE evaluation tools and processes into the DSU evaluation process nor is the current evaluation effort sustainable. The proposed evaluation integration process will include three phases. Phase 1 will be a four- month planning and development process in which an integrated mixed methods evaluation process and tools will be created. The INBRE Director of Evaluation, the ISTEP graduate student, and the ISTEP Project Director will share evaluation tools and processes and develop an integrated evaluation plan. Phase 2 is a four-month period of piloting the tools and processes. During this phase the ISTEP Project Director will train the graduate student on piloting procedures. The evaluation tools and processes will be reviewed by U-RISE staff and mentors and their feedback and suggestions will guide finalization. The data collected during the piloting phase will be used to evaluate the current U-RISE program. The ISTEP Project Director and graduate student will work with the U-RISE program staff to create a program improvement plan based on the evaluation findings, establishing an actionable feedback process.The final phase, Phase 3, is four-month process of revising and finalizing tools and processes and developing procedural manuals. Processes to seamlessly integrate the U-RISE evaluation and reporting requirements will be described and mechanisms to sustain the evaluation processes will be established. An internal data sharing process will be established so that the robust data produced through the ISTEP process continues to be shared at the faculty, department, College, and institutional levels. During Phase 3 the ISTEP process will be assessed to determine effectiveness. A summative evaluation of ISTEP goals will be conducted and will include evidence to support the assessment of each goal. The process established in this project will be maintained as part of the Center for Neighborhood Revitalization and Research responsibility to increase meaningful research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. Annually, the CNRR will recruit, train, and supervise a graduate student to conduct the DSU RISE program evaluations. The CNRR Director, also the proposed ISTEP Project Director, will continue to serve as liaison to the INBRE Evaluation to ensure data sharing and evaluation alignment. Information about the process to create an integrated evaluation model, impact of the model, and how to develop an integrated evaluation model will be disseminated through peer reviewed journals and practice journals and at professional meetings and conferences. The proposed effort will benefit the U-RISE program by creating a comprehensive, robust evaluation strategy that aligns seamlessly and directly with the INBRE program and with university assessment requirements. It will benefit the University by providing more accurate and detailed student success data as well as provide a model to systematically assess student achievements, success, and graduate school pipeline. Finally, it will benefit INBRE by providing more robust information about the training program and by providing an integrated evaluation model to replicate with other network institutions.

发展 DSU RISE 项目的综合评估能力项目描述响应补充资金支持评估能力建设的呼吁 NIH学生培养项目，我们提出一个项目，简称Integrated Student 培训评估计划 (IREP)，旨在将我们的 U-RISE 计划评估与 INBRE 计划评估旨在加强和协调这两项工作，提高 DSU 的评估尽管 U-RISE 计划有一个评估部分，但资源不足以将 INBRE 评估工具和流程集成到 DSU 中评价过程目前的评价工作也不可持续。拟议的评估整合过程将包括三个阶段，第一阶段将分为四个阶段。月计划和开发过程，其中综合混合方法评估将创建 INBRE 评估总监、ISTEP 毕业生。学生和 ISTEP 项目总监将分享评估工具和流程，并开发综合评估计划是为期四个月的工具和试验期。在此阶段，ISTEP 项目总监将对研究生进行培训。评估工具和流程将由 U-RISE 工作人员进行审查导师及其反馈和建议将指导最终确定。 ISTEP 项目总监将利用试点阶段来评估当前的 U-RISE 计划。研究生将与 U-RISE 项目工作人员合作，改进项目根据评估结果制定计划，建立可行的反馈流程。最终第三阶段是为期四个月的修订和最终确定工具和流程的过程，开发无缝集成 U-RISE 评估和流程的流程。将描述报告要求和维持评价进程的机制将建立内部数据共享流程，以便提供可靠的数据。通过 ISTEP 流程产生的成果继续在教职员工、部门、在第三阶段，ISTEP 流程将被评估为大学和机构级别。将进行 ISEP 目标的总结性评估，并确定其有效性。包括支持每个目标评估的证据。该项目中建立的流程将作为中心的一部分予以维护社区振兴和研究责任，以增加有意义的研究 CNRR 每年都会为本科生和研究生提供机会，进行招募、培训、并监督一名研究生进行 DSU RISE 项目评估。主任，也是拟议的 ISTEP 项目主任，将继续担任与 INBRE 评估以确保数据共享和评估一致性。创建综合评估模型的过程、模型的影响以及如何开发综合评估模型将通过同行评审期刊和实践进行传播期刊和专业会议。拟议的努力将通过创建一个全面、强大的评估策略与 INBRE 计划无缝且直接地结合提供更准确的大学评估要求将使大学受益。和详细的学生成功数据，并提供系统评估学生的模型最后，它将通过提供使 INBRE 受益。有关培训计划的更可靠信息并提供综合评估与其他网络机构复制的模式。
