The Collaborative Evaluation Fellows Project (CEFP) model is feasible and well-received, demonstrating its practical utility and value as a learning experience for participants in cancer research evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Program evaluation
  • Public health initiatives
  • Collaborative research models

Background:

  • The Collaborative Evaluation Fellows Project (CEFP) aimed to integrate evaluation practices within cancer research settings.
  • External evaluation was employed to assess the CEFP model's application and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the application of the CEFP model to its own evaluation.
  • To present early findings on the outcomes, benefits, and challenges of the CEFP model.
  • To assess the feasibility and reception of the CEFP model in practice.

Main Methods:

  • The study utilized data from 14 evaluations conducted in the first year of the CEFP implementation.
  • Qualitative and quantitative data were likely collected to assess outcomes, benefits, and issues.

  • The external evaluator analyzed the program's self-application of the CEFP model.

    • Main Results:

    • The core principles of the CEFP model were found to be feasible.
    • The CEFP model received positive reception from both the American Cancer Society and academic institutions.
    • CEFP evaluations were perceived as trustworthy and useful by American Cancer Society staff and volunteers, with evidence of actual use.
    • Evaluation fellows highly valued the CEFP as a learning opportunity, with some pursuing related careers.
    • Anticipated conflicts between practical and academic orientations were minimal due to program design.

    Conclusions:

    • The CEFP model is a viable and effective approach for program evaluation in cancer research contexts.
    • The project successfully bridged practical and academic needs, fostering collaboration and trust.
    • The CEFP model offers significant benefits, including enhanced evaluation capacity and career development for fellows.
