Abstract: Over the next three years, CRS and its evaluation contractor, Mathematica, anticipate collecting participant feedback for assessing ongoing programs across several areas within community outreach. The purpose of these collections is to gather feedback from participants who attended CRS programs and to use that information to assess participant satisfaction and implementation of the programs. The work may entail redesigning and/or modifying existing programs based upon received feedback. CRS envisions using surveys via both electronic data collection and paper instruments.
