Below is the introductory text from a very detailed and thorough set of evaluation resources that can be found at http://oerl.sri.com/
Welcome to OERL, the Online Evaluation Resource Library. This library was developed for professionals seeking to design, conduct, document, or review project evaluations. The purpose of this system is to collect and make available evaluation plans, instruments, and reports for NSF projects that can be used as examples by Principal Investigators, project evaluators, and others outside the NSF community as they design proposals and projects. OERL also includes professional development modules that can be used to better understand and utilize the materials made available.
OERL's mission is to support the continuous improvement of project evaluations. Sound evaluations are critical to determining project effectiveness. To this end, OERL provides:
* A large collection of sound plans, reports, and instruments from past and current project evaluations in several content areas
* Guidelines for how to improve evaluation practice using the Web site resources
OERL's resources include instruments, plans, and reports (the tabs across the top of this page) from evaluations that have proven to be sound and representative of current evaluation practices. These resources are organized into project categories, represented by the tabs at left. Also included are alignment tables that contain criteria and a glossary to help you develop your own plans, reports, and instruments.
