abstract = "The initial role of evaluation in a large-scale multi-site project is presented. The evaluation utilized an educative, values-engaged approach (EVEN) [4]. This paper also presents the evaluation questions and metrics used to structure an evaluation of this scale. The evaluation team has initiated the process of addressing the evaluation questions by including stakeholders in constructing a detailed evaluation matrix, conducting data collection, and regularly presenting formative information to project leads and managers to guide program improvement. This process as well as how this evaluation addresses key issues in evaluating STEM training, education, and outreach while contributing to advances in the field is also discussed.",
