Abstract:	The Advanced Technology Program is a U.S. federal public-private partnership whose mission is to accelerate the development of high-risk and innovative technologies that have the potential for broad-based economic and societal benefits. Since 1990, the ATP has funded more than 700 projects led by for-profit companies. Measuring the success of these projects and the portfolio of projects requires a multifaceted evaluation program to measure short-run, mid-term, and long-run outputs, outcomes, and impacts on the economy and society. This paper focuses on measuring short-midterm outcomes using survey methods and longer-term impacts using benefit-cost studies. Examples from many studies are used to highlight the different approaches used to assess how ATP quantifies and measures whether and how funded projects are delivering benefits to society.
