CREATE collaborated with the University of Alabama; Des Moines Public Schools; Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation; National Association for Secondary School Principals; Pacific Graduate School of Psychology; University of South Florida; Westat; Western Illinois University; and the College of William and Mary.

The annual National Evaluation Institute began during CREATE’s second year.  These institutes became so popular that, when federal funding was not renewed for this program, a group of individuals formed a new organization–also named CREATE–in order to continue the work and the networking that had begun.  The Evaluation Center continues to receive requests for information and documents that were developed under the auspices of CREATE
