Office of Evaluation

The Office of Evaluation is available to faculty interested in developing an evaluation component for their training programs. For those applying for a T grant, the ICRE provides additional resources for a competitive grant application. The Office of Evaluation provides grant development consultation, tracking systems, and infrastructure in which to conduct the evaluation of your trainees.

Research on Research Education
The Research on Education committee is focused on the evaluation of the career development and success of our trainees. We developed a theoretical model for the career trajectory of our trainees and Scholars that can be applied to other training programs. Partnering with the Office for Evaluation, we developed a sophisticated tracking mechanism for the trainees and Scholars as well as a rigorous follow-up structure.
T32 and T35 Training Programs
The University of Pittsburgh is committed to increasing and enhancing their training programs that support predoctoral, post-doctoral and short-term research training experiences for those preparing for research careers. Under the direction of the Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Sponsored Research Training Programs, the Office of Evaluation has established a comprehensive web-based resource that includes grant opportunities, information about funded training grants at the University of Pittsburgh, and resources to help investigators prepare T32 and T35 proposals and evaluate their programs.
