ICF International's Dr. Nicola Dawkins recently received the American Evaluation Association (AEA) award for Outstanding Publication of 2011 with colleagues Laura Leviton from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and Laura Kettel Khan at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for The Systematic Screening and Assessment Method: Finding Innovations Worth Evaluating.
The Spring 2010 issue of the RWJF journal New Directions for Evaluation describes a cost-effective way to assist program funders, practitioners, and researchers in selecting the most promising innovations already in use and then prepares them for more rigorous evaluation.
