CRR Helps Keep Evaluation Costs under Control
Evaluation fees are generally based on the individual needs of each organization and project and are negotiable based on the level of complexity of the evaluation design. At times, costs can be reduced when there are multiple evaluation projects from the same client that can be coordinated to reduce data collection and analysis workload.
Data Integrity
Program evaluations are conducted within the criteria and guidelines of the funding source. CRR places particular emphasis on the integrity of qualitative and quantitative data analysis and the inclusion of all stakeholders in the evaluation process.
Organized and Experienced Evaluators
Our consultants have provided program evaluation services to over 100 government agencies, schools and non-profit organizations for a variety of programs. We maintain high standards of quality and professional integrity for each evaluation, while personalizing our services for each client and site. Our goal is ensuring that the evaluation provides the information and analysis you need to make sound, data-driven program decisions and to validate accountability for your donors and stakeholders. In addition, all CRR staff have received training in the protection of human subjects throughout the evaluation process.
