Evaluation of Model Training Programs ILJ is conducting a two-year project for the National Institute of Justice with the purpose of producing a training evaluation model that can guide evaluations of a wide range of criminal justice training activities supported by federal, state, and local funds. The overall goal is to help DOJ agencies achieve more consistency and control over funded training. The first objective is to formulate a flexible evaluation model for outcome evaluations of criminal justice training programs. The second objective is to test the evaluation training model by applying it to four federally funded training projects from FY 2002. The model will give DOJ a new and consistent way to assess whether to fund a training project or not, a way to drive improvements in training development, and a means to increase the capacity of local and state criminal justice programs to conduct their own evaluations.
