OpenCI includes both internal (program-wide) and external (of OpenCI) evaluation capabilities. Internally, OpenCI’s Evaluation Coordinator, co-PI Lizanne DeStefano, the ACO will work with Service Track awardees/evaluators to coordinate, strengthen, and maximize the shared use and dissemination of evaluation findings across all Service Tracks. Externally, consultant Lisa Kaczmarczyk will conduct an annual, independent evaluation of OpenCI to guide its development and maximize impact.
