Excerpt
"These “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQs) are intended to provide guidance to Operating Units (OUs) in implementing the evaluation policy. They are intentionally not focused on providing too many specified rules and standard procedures. OUs and evaluation teams are encouraged to thoughtfully consider their unique circumstances to determine how best to meet the requirements in the Evaluation Policy. Bureau for Policy, Planning and Learning, Office of Learning, Evaluation and Research (PPL/LER) will be issuing additional FAQs on a rolling basis as we receive more questions and update answers."
