Abstract
In this presentation participants will explore, evaluate, and apply. Participants will explore examples of direct and indirect assessments that we used in an eight-year study determining the effectiveness of grant-writing workshops on the ability of faculty attendees to apply new learning to secure internal research grants. Assessments include longitudinal tracking of grant awardees (N=485) based on institutional data on faculty performance, models of successfully written proposals, feedback on workshops, and a satisfaction survey. Participants will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of collecting direct and indirect assessment data and apply useful aspects of our assessment model to their institutional context.
