FAIMER Institute
Measuring Impact
Ongoing evaluation of the Institute is essential to improving the efficacy of the program. A formal evaluation plan is in place and is providing valuable feedback on the impact of the fellowship experience. The evaluation plan includes data collection and analysis by FAIMER staff and, to ensure an independent perspective, external investigators.
Both quantitative and qualitative data are analyzed in evaluating the FAIMER Institute. Quantitative data from survey and professional network analysis show significant increases in knowledge, skills, and network effectiveness. Qualitative data from exit and follow-up interviews, also extremely positive, offer rich insights into the significant impact that the FAIMER Institute has had on the Fellows' professional lives. An additional measure of the Institute's impact is the high level of professional accomplishment achieved by Fellows after the fellowship experience.
