About the Webinar
What are concrete steps we can take to measure our progress, improve
outcomes, and help our researchers assess their impact? If you've ever asked
yourself-or been asked-this question, this webinar can help. This event will
cover specific performance measures and real-world application of these
measures to assess performance and enhance your programs or services. The
seminar will review both the current state of performance measures and where
improvements are needed as well as specific case studies of ongoing
performance assessment programs.
