Dear Colleagues,

Evaluation researchers at the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are seeking evaluators who do community-based work to participate in a phone interview regarding the influence of gatekeeping on evaluation practice. If you participate, you will be asked questions regarding your work. Results of the interview will inform our growing theory of gatekeeping in evaluation practice that may play a role in promoting or limiting inclusivity. These results will be reviewed only by researchers or research assistants involved in the study and employed by UW-Madison.

If you decide to participate, you do not have to answer any question in the interview that you do not wish to answer.  The information you provide will be kept completely confidential and anonymous.  Individuals will not be identified. The interview should take about 30 - 60 minutes to complete.

I hope you will consider sharing your valuable perspective and experiences with us!

Questions concerning the project and the interviews should be directed to:
