Program Evaluation Team
The CTSC Evaluation team monitors and evaluates our programs on an ongoing basis to assess our impact on research capabilities and its success in forming research teams of the future. Specifically, they help our faculty and staff direct resources and effort to meet the aims stated in the grant. They also play an essential role in our annual reporting activities by gathering information, analyzing results, and preparing a summary to describe our impact.
The Evaluation team leads this effort and helps us assess our performance and “turn the curve” when appropriate.
Overall, the Evaluation team facilitates achieving the goals of the network by keeping us on track with strategic management aimed at improving the impact of the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center to improve human health.
The team also provides evaluation services for our training programs including the CTSC TL1 and KL2 programs, the School of Medicine Mentored Clinical Research Training Program, and CTSC-managed K12 programs. For more information, contact sthenderson@ucdavis.edu.
