Program Evaluation
I offer program evaluations for a variety of programs, policies, and projects. In both public and private sectors, program evaluation is often requested by stakeholders who want to determine whether programs they are funding have the desired effects. Further, program evaluation helps identify and address problem areas and make recommendations for improvement.
According to Rossi, Lipsey, and Freeman (2004), the following kinds of assessment may be appropriate at different stages:
- Assessment of the need for the program
- Assessment of program design and logic/theory
- Assessment of how the program is being implemented (i.e., is it being implemented according to plan? Are the program’s processes maximizing possible outcomes?)
- Assessment of the program’s outcome or impact (i.e., what it has actually achieved)
- Assessment of the program’s cost and efficiency
With my research background, I have knowledge and experience in research design, survey research, focus groups, qualitative designs, and statistical analyses. Together, we will determine the best course of action for your particular program.
