Welcome to the Cost-Inclusive TIG!

We are the home for program evaluators doing cost studies. Since becoming a Topical Interest Group of the American Evaluation Association (www.eval.org) in 2004, we have sponsored free workshops and paper sessions at the annual AEA Conference (www.eval.org/eval2006/).

Now we are fulfilling a third set of goals, set by the TIG membership at our 2006 Business Meeting at the 2006 AEA meeting in Portland: to intensify our in-reach efforts within AEA, to grow our web site and newsletter to function as communications tools for our membership and to inform ourselves of opportunities for research, education, and training.

Please submit any opportunities you’d like to see on this site to me at: byates@american.edu.

In advance, thanks for your attention, your time, and your interest!
