Evaluation Reports for NIMBioS Events and Activities
NIMBioS conducts evaluations of its working group meetings, investigative workshops, tutorials, and major education and outreach events. Evaluations are carried out via electronic surveys sent to all participants either after participation in a NIMBioS event, or both before and after participation if a pre/post comparison of responses was warranted. Evaluation findings, along with suggestions for improvement, are shared with event organizers, as well as NIMBioS staff as needed. Improvements to program content and format, as well as NIMBioS' overall operations, are made accordingly. All evaluation data are confidential, and results are reported only in the aggregate.
Event names below are linked to the event's web page. Click Report for evaluation report (pdf).
