As currently functioning, this core continually evaluates the Partnership’s overall performance through the incorporation of quality improvement for the Partnership’s inputs, processes, and outcomes. This core develops and defines evaluation targets to be tracked and measured. It also serves by soliciting, evaluating, and funding research projects; facilitating the activities of the Internal Advisory Committee (IAC), the Partnership Advisory Council (PAC), and the Program Steering Committee (PSC); and arranging planning sessions, retreats, and Summer Institutes. The evaluation plans are implemented by the Partnership Co-Leaders and Coordinators of this core.
