wide adoption and use beyond CDC and
public health. The CDC Evaluation
Framework has guided CDC and other
evaluators over two decades, as
evidenced by more than 300 citations in
peer-reviewed articles and use in
projects reaching more than 50
countries on six continents. However,
evaluation has evolved since
publication of the framework in 1999; 1
therefore, CDC seeks to update the
framework to align with changes in
evaluation, public health, and federal
policies and practices.
The comments from this Request for
Information, along with input gathered
through other mechanisms (e.g.,
townhall with CDC, interviews with key
federal evaluators, surveys with federal
evaluation staff and leaders), will help
identify how the framework may have
been adapted and used in different
settings, what aspects of the framework
have been useful, any challenges in
using the framework across different
contexts, and gaps that may need to be
addressed. CDC is gathering input from
a variety of audiences, such as federal
evaluators, CDC staff, and CDC funded
partners. Feedback from these sources
will be considered in determining
priority areas to update and revise in the
CDC Evaluation Framework to continue
its valuable use and service to the
evaluation field and public health. The
relevant feedback along with tools,
evidence, and resources in the field and
literature will also be considered in
determining whether to update, revise,
or create new content for the CDC
Evaluation Framework and supporting
resources (e.g., checklists, tools).

program evaluations? What specifically
helped or did not help?
2. Which contexts has the current
CDC Evaluation Framework worked
well for and for which contexts has it
not worked well? What specifically did
or did not work and why?
3. How does the current CDC
Evaluation Framework promote or
