Welcome to OERL, the Online
Evaluation Resource Library. This library was developed
for professionals seeking to design, conduct, document,
or review project evaluations. The purpose of this
system is to collect and make available evaluation
plans, instruments, and reports for NSF projects that
can be used as examples by Principal Investigators,
project evaluators, and others outside the NSF community
as they design proposals and projects. OERL also includes
professional development modules that can be used to
better understand and utilize the materials made available.
OERL's mission is to support the continuous improvement
of project evaluations. Sound evaluations are critical
to determining project effectiveness. To this end,
OERL provides:
- A large collection of sound plans, reports, and
instruments from past and current project evaluations
in several content areas
- Guidelines for how to improve evaluation practice
using the Web site resources
OERL's resources include instruments, plans, and reports
(the tabs across the top of this page) from evaluations
that have proven to be sound and representative of
current evaluation practices. These resources are organized
into project categories, represented by the tabs at
left. Also included are alignment
tables that contain criteria and a glossary to
help you develop your own plans, reports, and instruments.

This site has a set of tabs across the top and and another running down the left side. Each combination of the two takes you to a different page. For example...
...from the OERL home page, clicking the Plans tab on the top takes you to...
...the Plans overview page. From here, if you click a side tab, such as the Curriculum Development tab, you'll go to...
...the Plans page for Curriculum Development. This page only has plans specific to Curriculum Development projects.
