Summer Institute: Health of Population Evaluation (HOPE)
Will be held in Winnipeg from June 14 to 18.
Health in Common, the Prairie HIV CBR program (Nine Circles), United Way of Winnipeg, University Without Walls (OHTN, Ontario) and University of Manitoba, are organizing a summer course on Program Evaluation. The course will be held at the Fort Garry campus of University of Manitoba (Rooms TBA).
The specific objectives of the Summer Institute are to:
1) increase the capacity of community leaders, management, staff, and university students to utilize empirical evidence for program planning and implementation and to enhance their program evaluation capabilities; and
2) establish a sustainable community-university network among practitioners and researchers for ongoing knowledge translation, knowledge exchange and utilization, and evidence-based practice.
The full agenda, registration procedures and other materials are found www.thesummerinstitute.ca (the site will be updated on a regular basis).
