The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) incorporated evaluation into its programs earlier than many other federal agencies. Some notable activities that moved evaluation forward at the CDC, as well as expanded to the field, include

 publication of the widely used Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health (1999), which was designed to be a practical step-by-step tool for conducting effective program evaluation;

 creation of the first chief evaluation officer position in 2010;

 development of the Program Performance and Evaluation Office, which consolidated program evaluation, performance measurement, and planning, previously dispersed across the CDC, under a single high-level office;

 creation of the CDC Evaluation Fellowship Program (under auspices of the Program Performance and Evaluation Office); and

 implementation of an annual CDC Evaluation Day (under auspices of the Program Performance and Evaluation Office).
