## Abstract

PLANNING AND EVALUATION CORE 
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
The Planning and Evaluation Core (PEC) serves as a facilitative resource to provide oversight and data 
support in the development, implementation, coordination, and management of all Partnership activities 
for the Partnership's Infection-Driven Malignancies Program for Advancing Careers and Translational 
Sciences (IMPACT). This core, which works collaboratively with the Administrative and DATAOmics 
Cores, provides assistance with the daily activities of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, data 
collection, data evaluation, and meeting planning, as well as to spearhead short-term and long-term 
strategic planning and prioritization for the successful achievement of Partnership initiatives. The PEC is 
composed of an Evaluation Team (ET), the Internal Advisory Committee (IAC) and the Program Steering 
Committee (PSC). Through these three components, the PEC conducts via a continuous process, the 
planning and evaluation of all partnership activities. Specific Aims for the PEC include: 1) Provide 
continuous support to cores and research projects to incorporate evaluation tools and approaches in order 
to document Partnership's progress and accomplishments; 2) Promote an evaluation culture supported 
through a rigorous internal reviewing process in order to continuously improve Partnership performance 
and maximize resources; and 3) Support a critical external assessment process of the Partnership in order 
to enhance its performance, provide recommendations for improvements and inform new directions.
