Evaluation Guidelines

  1. The Dean or Unit Vice President is responsible for verifying and approving all evaluations of C/Is assigned to his/her college. The Dean or Unit Vice President may assign an internal evaluator to conduct the evaluation. This is typically not the C/I Director.
  2. Evaluations should focus on the mission and stated objectives of the C/I.
  3. The C/I should demonstrate how it adds value to the State, if applicable, and to the University that cannot be provided at the college, department, or division level.
  4. The C/I should demonstrate its return on investment for all funding sources.
  5. The following are suggested items that the evaluator may consider, as they apply to individual C/Is. Items for review are not limited to this list:
  • Funded/proposed training grants in area of focus
  • Funded/proposed program project grants in area of focus
  • Investment of C/I funds in generating pilot data for grants
