Questions to Guide the Evaluation Committee
1.
Are the strategic goals and objectives of the program well defined and
clearly described?
2.
In the last decade, how well were program goals and objectives aligned
with NORA 1 priorities?
3.
How do the current strategic goals and objectives of the program relate
to the current NIOSH strategy, including NORA 2?
4.
Are the research program goals, objectives, and strategies relevant to
the major challenges in the research program and likely to address
emerging problems in the research program (as determined by the
EC)?
a.
Did past program goals and objectives (research and dissemina-
tion/transfer activities) focus on the most relevant problems and
anticipate the emerging problems in the research program?
b.
Are the current program goals and objectives targeted to the most
relevant problems and likely to address emerging problems in the
research program?
5.
How does the program identify emerging research areas?
a.
What information is reviewed by NIOSH?
b.
What advisory or stakeholder groups are asked to identify emerg-
ing areas?
c.
What new research areas have been identified in the program?
d.
Were important areas overlooked?
Assessment
The EC will provide a qualitative assessment discussing the relevance of the
area's goals, objectives, and strategies as related to the research program's major
challenges and emerging problems.
III.B.4. Review of Inputs (Box B in Figure 2)
Inputs are categorized as planning or production inputs in the NIOSH logic
model. Planning inputs include stakeholder inputs, surveillance and intervention
data, and risk assessments. Production inputs include intramural and extramural
funding, staffing, management structure, and physical facilities.
Inputs for program evaluation include existing intramural and extramural
information and, potentially, surveys or case studies that might have been devel-
oped specifically to assess progress in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries
and to provide information relevant to targeting research appropriately to future
