The program Evaluation Research and Support (PERS) Working Group is made up of UA faculty who have an interest in developing resources and support for effective program planning and evaluation. Funded as an Extension working group since 2006, our goal is to develop and share resources, provide educational opportunites for faculty and to boost awareness and support for program evaluation efforts in the College of Agriculture and Life Scinces.
The PERS working group is funded through an intramural Working Group grant from UA Cooperative Extension.
