| Abstract:
The purpose of evaluation at NIH includes assessing progress toward achieving program objectives, and examining a broad range of information on program performance and its context. The diversity of objectives, scientific scope and funding levels at NIH's 27 institutes and centers creates its own set of evaluation challenges. Biomedical research programs take time to produce outcomes, and measuring progress in science can be difficult. Applying evaluation methodologies to some programs therefore requires added planning and strategic thinking.
The Evaluation Branch at NIH strives to enhance program implementation and effectiveness by sharing technical expertise and practical experience with the NIH evaluation community. The presentation will cover examples of methodologies used for different types of evaluations, such as needs assessments, process and outcome evaluations, and feasibility studies. The aim is to use context-sensitive evaluation to foster accountability and transparency in program implementation, and to disseminate actionable evidence to policymakers and stakeholders.

| Abstract:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is conducting the Community-based Organizations Behavioral Outcome Project (CBOP), a longitudinal outcome monitoring study on three group-level evidence-based HIV prevention interventions (EBIs) being implemented nationally by CDC directly-funded community-based organizations (CBOs). This roundtable will focus on the experiences and challenges with process monitoring in an outcome monitoring project. Process monitoring through CBOP has highlighted contextual issues including variation in the delivery of EBIs in real-world settings, which may or may not influence behavioral outcomes. Participants will discuss the extent to which process monitoring should be incorporated in studies such as CBOP. This dialog will contribute to the knowledge base in the field of evaluation by providing a forum for evaluators to exchange ideas on the optimal ways for collecting process monitoring data and how these data can be used to interpret behavioral outcomes, which are key factors in determining intervention effectiveness.
