AEA is now seeking applications from those interested in participating in the Minority-Serving Institution (MSI) Faculty Initiative. Through the MSI program, faculty members from minority-serving institutions will come together to participate in orientation, webinars, and Evaluation 2023.
Who should apply?
We are seeking faculty members from groups traditionally under-represented in the applied social sciences, public health, or education working at a minority institution who are looking for an opportunity to participate in professional development opportunities, expand their professional network, and improve their knowledge and understanding of topics related to evaluation, assessment, and applied research.
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for an applied research program that supports the following goal: contribute to building a portfolio of evidence in the field of evaluative practice and interventions that employ human rights frameworks and complexity- and culturally- responsive methods, while also strengthening strategic and evaluative frameworks to contribute to the body of global and equitable human rights evaluative practice.
The purpose of this evaluative research is to contribute to the global body of evaluative tools and practice by developing a human rights framework that espouses the principles of “do no (more) harm,” and “nothing about us without us.” Based on the principles articulated above, the research should result in an actionable framework for human rights programming and evaluation practices—both of which would bolster democracy, human rights, and governance (DRG) programming and evaluation practices.

Share Your Professional Experience at Evaluation 2023
AEA invites you to submit a proposal for the Evaluation 2023 conference, taking place October 9-14, 2023 in Indianapolis, IN! We look forward to joining together with evaluators from across the globe to focus on key trends in the field of evaluation.
As you submit your proposal to present at Evaluation 2023, keep in mind – we are looking for both creativity and variety in your submissions.
All submissions are due by 11:59 PM ET on Wednesday, March 22, 2023.
Our theme for 2023 is "The Power of Story." Storytelling serves many purposes: it can build relationships, ground evaluation work, describe the context, convey data, impose meaning, share lessons learned, and identify challenges left to address.
Evaluation can tell stories; sometimes story fuels evaluation instead. Evaluation 2023 will reflect on how storytelling contributes to and shapes the narrative of evaluations, and dive deeper into storytelling’s usage, benefits, and impacts on our practices.
Keep these questions in mind when submitting your proposal:
