On the Cutting Edge Evaluation Results
The evaluation plan addressed two major effort domains of the project: the workshops and the website. All evaluations provided information to enable project staff to answer the following questions:"What are the results we are trying to achieve?" "Given these, who do we have to reach?" "What programs do we have with which to reach them?" "What evidence do we have that we did what we planned?"
