Training Program Evaluation

Training Program Evaluation is a sub-section of the 25-page Program Plan's “B. Program Plan” component. Describe a rigorous, evidence-informed evaluation plan to monitor for and assess the quality and effectiveness of the program. Approaches should be grounded in literature or from evaluations of other relevant training programs. This plan should include:

• Direct feedback from current and former trainees to identify and find solutions for areas of improvement  
• Unique, specific, and measurable metrics tied to program goals
• Stated plans to assess career development, progression of trainees (publications, degree completion, post-training positions, etc.), and inclusivity of the training environment 
• Plans to respond to appropriate feedback
• Renewals Only: Discuss evaluation results and whether program has been modified based on those results

Page Limit: Must fit within the Program Plan’s 25 page maximum. About 2 pages.

Format: Section header: “B. Program Plan” | Subsection header: “d. Training Program Evaluation”
