ATE PI Checklist for Getting Started with Your Evaluation Post-Award

This three-page checklist from EvaluATE: Evaluation Resource Center for Advanced Technological Education (ATE) provides guidance on tasks in the evaluation process for principal investigators (PIs) and co-PIs of ATE grant projects. The document begins by identifying groups who collaborate on an evaluation: the external evaluator, project team, partners, and institutional research (IR) offices. The checklist is presented in table format, with columns indicating both the evaluation process task and which of the four groups of collaborators should be involved in completing each task. The checklist covers steps including evaluator selection, contracts, evaluation plan creation, data collection, and reporting.
