Heartland Center for
Program Evaluation & Research
The purpose of the Heartland Center for Program Evaluation and Research
(HCPER) is to perform evaluation and research to demonstrate the impact
of education and training, and to provide evaluation expertise and technical
assistance to academic and practice partners. The HCPER coordinates
the design, implementation and analysis of workforce needs assessments,
individual competency based outcomes and process evaluations, program process
and outcomes evaluation, and performs impact and capacity improvement evaluation. HCPER
also provides exercise, drills, and simulation-based evaluation and assessment
to measure learning achievement around pre-defined competencies critical

The Emerging Leaders Institute is sponsored by the UIC-SPH Center for
Public Health Practice and the Heartland Centers at St. Louis University,
School of Public Health. The Institute is part of a continuum of
training programs that strengthen the public health workforce through
coordinated training and organizational development. The Emerging
Leaders Institute builds public health practice by combining cutting
edge face-to-face training with individual infrastructure improvement
projects. As the conclusion of the program, Fellows will be prepared
to assume leadership positions within their agencies, and will have
the skills necessary to lead collaborative initiatives that characterize
public health practice.
