Abstract
In 1997 we had the honor of presenting to an Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) assemblage our views of best practices in performance evaluation. We chose to discuss the performance evaluation activities at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). While our experiences could have led us to focus on other federal laboratories or government agencies, we were then, and still are, of the opinion that the performance evaluation practices within the Program Office and within the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) at NIST are at the forefront. We emphasized that in Link and Scott (1998b). Hence, we have highlighted eight NIST-based case studies in this book.
