	Director of Research The Evaluation Center Western Michigan University Email: daniela.schroeter@wmich.edu Phone: 269-387-5895 CV Daniela C. Schröter September 2010 My evaluation and research interests are interdisciplinary at heart and center on evaluation theory, methodology, practice, and capacity building. Primary interests in grant and contracts work relate to program evaluations in science, technology, and engineering sectors (e.g., energy efficiency or CTE), adult learning via innovative learning environments, organizational theory, and sustainability evaluation. I have a special interest in teaching evaluation theory, methodology, and practice.
