*The Annie E. Casey Foundation *is excited to announce the Foundation’s new
online evaluation training pipeline program, Leaders in Equitable Evaluation
and Diversity (LEEAD). LEEAD is based on the fundamental belief that
increasing
diversity in the field of research and evaluation improves our knowledge
base
and makes for better science and social innovation. We seek to build the
capacity of underrepresented minority (URM) evaluators who will lead the
sector
in culturally responsive and high-quality evaluations.

Launching in January 2016, LEEAD is a unique, rigorous
nine-month program that integrates professional development; online-based
evaluation coursework through University of Wisconsin-Stout; mentorship from
senior-level evaluation experts; and a culminating practicum experience at a
reputable research firm, foundation, think tank, government agency or
university. The program welcomes applications from talented, mid-career URM
scholars who aspire to become leaders in the field of evaluation and are
searching for a unique opportunity to develop their skills through
instruction,
coaching and practicum training. Applicants should have 5-7 years of
post-doctoral experience in research and/or evaluation in criminal justice,
psychology, public policy, public health, mental health, social psychology,
sociology, economics, social work or related fields.

For more information on the program and for the application,
please see program website (above).  Applications are due before 11:59 PM ET
Thursday, September 24, 2015.

We will also be hosting an informational webinar about LEEAD for
interested applicants on Monday, August 31, 2015 from 1:00-2:30
PM ET.
*Applicants are required to attend the informational webinar.and must
pre-register via the website by 11:59 PM ET Thursday, August 27.*

If you have any questions about the program, please send
your inquiry to LEEAD_Application2015 at SP.AECF.ORG with the subject line
“Question”. We look forward to your interest and recruiting a cohort of
diverse
leaders in equitable evaluation!

Sincerely,

The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Expanding the Bench Team
