font-family:Arial'>The Structuring Educational Evaluation Programs workshop has
six registered participants, so be sure to attend or you will reduce the group
significantly! We need all of you for a decent discussion. The format will be
dialogue about materials provided as examples and critique of some evaluation
plans, all around a table. I believe it will be productive for those who
attend. If you want to bring colleagues, feel free to do so! The agenda is
included below:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

approach to any project, specifying the formats of descriptions to be included
in a program grant proposal and a research grant proposal, and analyzing the
differences. The Structuring Educational Evaluation Programs will be from 9:00
