Any grant proposal that identifies outcomes related to student learning or professional development must present a sound strategy for assessing progress toward those outcomes. To this end, the Office of Strategic Research Development has partnered with the Office of Assessment to develop a guide to help you develop effective assessment plans—at the appropriate level of rigor and cost for your proposal. Find the guide here.
