Evaluation and Research Services

 

The Center for Learning Connections (CLC) has research staff experienced in helping organizations and agencies engage in reflective practice and data-based decision making. We are skilled in designing evaluation activities for an array of program delivery processes. From consulting on the creation of data collection and monitoring systems to managing full program evaluations and research projects, we can customize to your needs.

A significant part of our evaluation and research work centers on helping organizations improve program implementation, resolve unanticipated problems and ensure progress toward desired outcomes. We are especially skilled at building organizational awareness of the benefits of evaluation and how results can be used to inform program and process improvements.
