Development of an impact evaluation framework and planning tool for field epidemiology training programs
The long history and global growth of the FETP model suggest success and imply impact, yet few published papers provide necessary backing evidence. There is growing interest across the FETP community and funders to understand the longer-term changes that FETPs contribute to. We developed an impact framework and planning tool specifically designed to support FETP impact evaluation. The framework and tool are intended to be used by FETP staff with no prior evaluation experience. The evaluation approach is intentionally flexible, allowing contextual application and integration with established quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods.
