When will AmeriCorps provide more information regarding one or more strategies including, potentially, national Corporation-administered evaluations cited in the preamble to the Rule?
From time to time, the Corporations Office of Research and Policy Development (RPD) undertakes national evaluations. For example, in 2005 RPD launched a national study of Youth Corps programs that includes random assignment. In the past, RPD also conducted a longitudinal survey, and has produced state profiles. The Corporation will keep you apprised of such national evaluation efforts as they emerge. We encourage you to participate if invited to do so. Due to resource constraints most Corporation evaluation studies will focus on certain types of programs. For example, the Corporation may be interested in conducting a study of mentoring programs, and only a nationally representative or random sample of programs conducting these activities may be asked to participate in the study. If a program participates in a national evaluation conducted by the Corporation, that program will be exempt from the requirement to provide an internal or independent evaluation during the next two three year
