Evaluating the program

1. BUY, BUILD, INVEST and HIRE teams meet monthly to track progress on short-term goals.
2. The HopkinsLocal workgroup (all teams and senior leadership) meet once a month to track progress, identify challenges, and consider solutions
3. The workgroup meets quarterly for a longer meeting to track progress and course correct if needed.
4. Annual data is culled and then shared with a third-party monitor for additional review/verification.
5. The workgroup meets annually with JHU President Ronald Daniels, Dean DeWeese, and JHHS President Kevin Sowers to review progress.
6. The workgroup reviews annual data results, prepares reports, and makes adjustments to goals based on progress from that year. For example, In the first phase, BUY increased its annual goal each year, from $6 million to $10 million to $15 million from FY16-18.
