NIMBioS uses a systems-based approach for evaluation, one that considers the organization as a whole, assessing the quality and significance of outcomes while also examining the inputs and processes.
NIMBioS is pleased to now offer its considerable experience and expertise in providing external evaluation services to the STEM research and education sector, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary programs. Under the guidance of Pamela Bishop (Ph.D., Evaluation, Statistics, and Measurement), NIMBioS Evaluation Services provides independent, rigorous and transparent formative and summative evaluation services targeted to the unique goals of the program under evaluation.
Dr. Pamela Bishop
NIMBioS Evaluation Manager
With expertise in evaluation theory, design and implementation, the NIMBioS evaluation team is capable of evaluating large-scale projects to optimize decision-making and to untangle the complexity of program dynamics in order to understand how and why the project works (or doesn’t work) for whom.
NIMBioS carries out extensive evaluations of the variety of activities it supports, which has led to peer-reviewed publications on the methods used at NIMBioS to foster interdisciplinary research and education. NIMBioS uses a systems-based approach to program evaluation of center-scale effectiveness, with particular emphasis on assessing the impacts of NIMBioS in developing cross-disciplinary collaborations and research. More than 150 systematic evaluations of NIMBioS activities and events have been conducted.
