Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evaluation Fellowship Program Deadline: June 30, 2008 As a young professional from communities traditionally underserved or under-represented preparing to launch a career, you may be wondering how you can be of service to your community and the wider society. There are many avenues through which you can make a difference. As an exciting option, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evaluation Fellowship Program offers you the opportunity to explore the field of evaluation and research as a possible career path in public service. Evaluators and researchers play an important role in the non-profit sector. They advance effective service delivery by studying grounded theory, how it is carried out through practice strategies, and the impacts of these on populations and communities, especially in traditionally underserved and under-represented groups. As applied researchers, evaluators help foundations, government agencies and non-profits to advance effective practice by providing important evidence through diverse research and evaluation approaches. Bringing together evaluation academic and practice oriented skill sets of a unique partnership of Duquesne University and the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning, the RWJF Evaluation Fellowship Program is a deliberate step to bolster a continuum of evaluation career building and retention opportunities for people of color and under-represented groups. This call for applications invites recently graduated students in various fields of expertise to submit applications for the first year cohort, beginning January, 2009 through December, 2009. What are the expectations and requirements of RWJF Evaluation Fellows? The RWJF Fellow will receive a year-long, full-time, paid placement in an organization where he or she will work on projects that will build his or her skills in evaluation and research. The Fellows program will attempt to place the Fellow in a locality of his or her choice, but the Fellow must express a willingness to relocate, as necessary. Along with a paid placement, fellows will receive travel support to attend the four training seminars including the American Evaluation Association annual meeting during the course of the year. During the time of the fellowship, the RWJF Fellow will assist with and be part of teams engaged in program or project research and evaluation. Primary responsibilities are to participate in assigned research projects, assist in the development and conduct of surveys, questionnaires, and interview protocols, to collect, analyze, and interpret findings, and to write and produce written reports and other documents. The RWJF fellow will report to a supervisor assigned by the placement organization. Who can be a RWJF Evaluation Fellow? The RWJF Evaluation Fellow will have at least a Masters degree in health and healthcare, urban planning, education, non-profit management, public policy, or other social sciences fields. He or she will have some experience, knowledge, and problem-solving capability in one or more substantive areas, including but not limited to social change, advocacy, education reform, arts and culture, environment, health, and human service systems. The RWJF Evaluation Fellow will have strong written and oral communication skills, be familiar with qualitative and/or quantitative data collection methods and analysis, and demonstrate knowledge of word processing and other software or database programs. In addition, he or she will be willing to travel, as required by the placement firm. What is the timeline for the placement of RWJF Evaluation Fellows? Announcement of selected RWJF Evaluation Fellows for January, 2009 will be mid-October, 2008 to follow review of application materials and interviews.
