Evaluation of Impacts of SARE Research/Education, PDP, and Producer Grants

Summary

This mixed-methods study explores direct and indirect impacts of SARE funding among all three funding groups. Data collection includes: audiotaped interviews with 50 participants (15 producers, ten Professional Development Program, and 25 Research & Education principal investigators) and surveys to all principal investigators on SARE grants through 2001. Following independent analysis, data will be integrated and compiled in a final descriptive report that will highlight major themes and categories of impacts experienced by the three funding groups.
