Supervisor’s Evaluation of STRIDE Internship

The HHS Career Opportunities Training Agreement (COTA), which covers operation

of the NIH STRIDE Program, and the Federal Personnel Manual, Chapter 410, both

require that periodic evaluations of training progress be conducted. In addition,

timely, forthright evaluations are critical to a successful, well managed training experience.

Enclosed is a Supervisor’s Evaluation of Intern Progress. These evaluations are to

be completed for the periods specified in Section V of the Intern’s Career Development Plan and submitted to the STRIDE Program Manager, Office of Strategic Management Planning (OSMP).

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THIS EVALUATION BE DISCUSSED BETWEEN THE

INTERN AND SUPERVISOR BEFORE IT IS SUBMITTED.

Thank you for your assistance in this process.
