Overview
Lessons Learned From the NRMO National Evaluation Project
The NRMO National Evaluation Team: Saint Louis University, MOSAICA, Stanford University, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This presentation emphasizes important "lessons learned" from the first year of a three year project funded by the CDC to evaluate Initiative 305: The National and Regional Minority Organizations (NRMO) program.
These lessons learned will include: (1) the challenges of developing evaluation indicators for a national program that includes 22 diverse organizations; (2) the importance of emphasizing qualitative methods to examine both processes and outcomes of training and technical assistance (T/TA) efforts to build HIV/STD prevention capacity in diverse communities; (3) the challenges of defining, measuring, and evaluating cultural sensitivity and competence, given that the NRMO program is based on the delivery of culturally appropriate T/TA to communities of color throughout the United States and its territories; and finally, (4) the attempt to heavily utilize the results of this structure, process, and outcome evaluation to improve program performance.
Utilization of evaluation results include: (1) facilitation of a national strategic planning meeting for the program; (2) development of an NRMO self-assessment module; (3) development of an NRMO project management tool for the CDC; (4) disseminiation of T/TA assistance models/approaches that appear to be most effective; and (5) development of a common set of terms around T/TA and around organizational, program, and community capacity.
