Community event form/evaluation of event	Includes data on tribal affiliation, date, community event information, contact for meeting organizer and outcomes/future tasks. Monitors community outreach outcomes, impacts, including events that engage researchers and training elements of NACP in the outreach effort.

Provides both process and outcome metrics for student training and training outcomes.
Research
Research progress form	Project title (NACP funded), UA partner researcher/amount of time each week spend, collaborating/communicating working with NACP students and faculty, etc., manuscripts in press, published, in progress, current funded research projects, proposals for external review funded, declined, in review, Research Aims. This database provides quarterly updates on all research outputs and dissemination activities, plus grant activity related to meeting NIH/NCI goals for the research program elements of NACP.
Administration/evaluation
Milestone/benchmark monitoring	Short term updates based on the short term goals outlined in the NACP logic model Medium term goal updates based on the medium term goals outlined in the NACP logic model. Provides quarterly feedback on milestones and benchmarks met, in progress, or needing intervention.
Partnership questionnaire	Deployed to NACP core, IAC, PSC, funded project PIs and all students involved in research labs, summer training program students and mentors. Questions include: frequency of communication, importance of communication compared with others on the list, importance of the shared work you do, level of cooperation with this person, level of conflict with this person. Purpose is to monitor NACP partnership health and test the “logic model plus” evaluation design and outcomes.
