This one-day, pre-conference at Temple University will focus on the benefits of research for fatherhood programs, how to get started doing research, and how to apply for research funding. The interactive session will feature several teams of practitioners and researchers who will describe how they began their collaboration and their experiences working together. The program will also include a brief introduction to the different types of evaluation research that programs might pursue including qualitative studies, impact evaluations and randomized control trials. Other
workshop topics will include logic models, measuring key program outcomes such as father involvement and co-parenting, and key data collection strategies including self-administered questionnaires, telephone interviews and online surveys. The day will conclude with the components of
a successful grant proposal. The Pre-Conference will be sponsored by the Fatherhood Research and Practice Network (www.FRPN.org), a fiveyear initiative funded by the Department of Human Services, Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation to sponsor rigorous fatherhood program
research and build evaluation capacity. Attendees will receive a Certificate in Fatherhood Program Evaluation from the School of Social Work at
