OMG and Duquesne University set to launch RWJF Evaluation Fellows Program


The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evaluation Fellows program seeks to diversify the evaluation field by providing individuals with the necessary skills and training to become program evaluators. During the one-year fellowship, emerging professionals will be placed in an organization that specializes in evaluation and work on real-world evaluation projects. Each fellow will be paired with a mentor at his/her placement site who will provide ongoing guidance and support. We will require fellows to participate in four training workshops throughout the year, including the American Evaluation Association's (AEA) annual conference. The workshops will provide fellows with intensive training in evaluation approaches and methodology to compliment their placement experience. The program will cover travel expenses to attend all training workshops and the AEA conference. Fellows will work full-time during the one-year program.

The program's ultimate goal is to infuse the evaluation field with well-trained individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to meet the increasing diversity of programs and communities that the profession serves.
