The Corporation for National and Community Service is exploring an ambitious agenda for SIF’s National Evaluation, a major project that will take place over the next five years. The structure of the evaluation plan under consideration includes five components, each representing a distinct body of work with its own questions and evaluation research methodology.

To ensure we have the strongest possible plan, we solicited public input on initial evaluation recommendations through June 2011.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this effort. The national evaluation findings will help inform broader learning communities developing and refining innovations in economic opportunity, youth development, and healthy futures. Your responses to the questions are being reviewed by the SIF program and evaluation team and Abt Associates in final decision-making about the evaluation plan.
