Journal Article
EVALUATION RESEARCH AND THE BUDGET CYCLE
1980
Overview
Recognizing that a frequently recommended use for evaluation research (ER) findings is to exert an influence on budget decisions, the impracticality of such recommendations are outlined. Examining the time frame of the budgetary cycle & the time needed to produce a good evaluation study, it becomes apparent that the budget cycle & the evaluation cycle are incompatible. A four-year time frame would be required for the ER to optimally affect the basic budget decisions for a fiscal year; by that time, the evaluation data may be outdated & questionable. It is concluded that ER may be better suited to influencing new legislative initiatives, regulatory reforms, or management practices than annual budget decisions. 3 Tables. Modified HA.
