Program Evaluation
We have decades of experience evaluating programs and leading program improvement efforts. In previous roles, we were responsible for designing, conducting, and communicating results of evaluations of diverse programs as well as federal and state grants. We have evaluated federal, state, and private grants with an annual average of 13 million dollars in funding. We have been responsible for all aspects of designing and implementing evaluation plans to include logic modeling, goal setting, the design of data collection instruments and methodology, statistical analysis, site observations, formative evaluation presentations to internal stakeholders, and summative evaluation reports to funding agencies.
