<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#1A1A1A">The question of how to evaluate the success of a research development practitioner is being asked with increasing frequency, as this
is a new and growing field. Commonly used quantitative metrics (such as "success" rates) fail to provide meaningful information about the true impact of our work, given its complexity and the realities of dropping funding rates. Many of us have the opportunity
to chart the course of how we will be evaluated at our institutions, but the question remains: What measures of success should we use, and how should we evaluate them?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;min-height:14px"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#1A1A1A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#1A1A1A">In this webinar we will describe several evidence-based tools for use in internal evaluation and illustrate selected approaches with
examples from actual evaluations of the Offices of Research Administration and Research Development at Tufts University. In particular, this session will highlight the utility of using satisfaction as the key metric in assessing the success of a research development
office. We will offer practical tips for developing an evaluation of your own Research Development efforts, and detail the process of developing, designing, implementing, and assessing the results of a satisfaction survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
