Abstract

Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the number of large federally funded transdisciplinary programs and initiatives. Scholars have identified a need to develop frameworks, methodologies, and tools to evaluate the effectiveness of these large collaborative initiatives, providing precise ways to understand and assess the operations, community and academic partner collaboration, scientific and community research dissemination, and cost-effectiveness. Unfortunately, there has been limited research on methodologies and frameworks that can be used to evaluate large initiatives. This study presents a framework for evaluating the Flint Center for Health Equity Solutions (FCHES), a National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)-funded Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (TCC) for health disparities research. This report presents a summary of the FCHES evaluation framework and evaluation questions as well as findings from the Year-2 evaluation of the Center and lessons learned.

卫生公平研究跨学科合作中心的评估框架

在过去的几十年里，由联邦政府资助的大型跨学科项目和倡议的数量有所增加。学者们已经确定，需要制定框架、方法和工具来评估这些大型合作举措的有效性，提供准确的方法来理解和评估运营、社区和学术伙伴合作、科学和社区研究传播以及成本效益。不幸的是，对可用于评估大型举措的方法和框架的研究有限。这项研究提供了一个评估弗林特健康公平解决方案中心（FCHES）的框架，该中心是由国家少数民族健康和健康差异研究所（NIMHD）资助的跨学科合作中心（TCC），用于健康差异研究。本报告概述了FCHES评估框架和评估问题，以及中心第二年评估的结果和经验教训。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Evaluation (AJE) publishes original papers about the methods, theory, practice, and findings of evaluation. The general goal of AJE is to present the best work in and about evaluation, in order to improve the knowledge base and practice of its readers. Because the field of evaluation is diverse, with different intellectual traditions, approaches to practice, and domains of application, the papers published in AJE will reflect this diversity. Nevertheless, preference is given to papers that are likely to be of interest to a wide range of evaluators and that are written to be accessible to most readers.
