During her tenure at the National Endowment for the Arts, Dr. Shaffer worked with the Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network team on a measurement framework and evaluation design for the Community Engagement grant program. The Creative Forces Community Engagement Grant is a program of the NEA in partnership with Mid-America Arts Alliance (M-AAA). This grant program aims to improve the health, well-being, and quality of life for these military-connected populations through matching grants.
Dr. Shaffer guided the performance measurement and evaluation design of the Creative Forces community demonstration projects followed by the design of a pilot study to measure individual participant outcomes.
