Throughout, our focus is on helping clients improve their programs as well as maintain accountability to funders and oversight committees. We provide a full range of research services, such as: needs assessments to inform program development; formative or process evaluations to review program implimentation and support program improvement; and, summative or impact evaluations to determine the overall impact of the program on stakeholders.
