(Re) shaping Evaluation Reports: An Evaluation Report Templating Process

For evaluation centers, project report development can be a resource-consuming endeavor. So, developing a report template is useful for an advanced start on the reporting process, and to create a standardized approach and look.  This collaborative process helps centers prepare a report structure early on in projects using predesigned templates and align data collection and analysis with the report content before data collection begins. This approach streamlines report development by enabling teams to design reports together and then hand them off to a colleague to complete the report independently. These templates can be created using R and R Markdown code (but the process universally applies to any software as well).  Report templates also give centers the information needed to develop dashboards, Adhoc reports, and needs; as well as a means for data team members to create a repository for commonly used scales, data sources, analysis methods, and metadata.
