Summary:Introduction Operating in the current era of escalating accountability to sponsoring agencies and accrediting bodies, accurate program evaluations are becoming critical in the increased competition for funding. Because resources are limited, greater expectations for demonstrated efficiencies and performance outcomes are mounting.
