This three-day course will be held March 23–25, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST each day.
This course provides public health practitioners with a practical, skills-based introduction to program evaluation using the CDC’s Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health as a guiding structure. Participants will learn how to design and implement high-quality evaluations that improve program effectiveness, strengthen decision-making, and support accountability to stakeholders.Through simulated scenarios, learners will practice applying core evaluation competencies—such as developing logic models, engaging stakeholders, selecting appropriate methods, collecting and analyzing data, and communicating findings clearly. Each module integrates opportunities for hands-on application and individualized feedback, with an emphasis on translating evaluation concepts into practical tools that can be used immediately in public health settings.By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply evaluation skills confidently and strategically to enhance programs in their own professional contexts.
