Grants Development • Incorporate sound evaluation strategy into grant proposals.
More than ever before, grants awarded by government, foundations and other organizations require sound evaluation for any funded project. Carmody Consulting works with your organization to devise and articulate an evaluation strategy that meets funder requirements in addition to program evaluation needs.
Program Evaluation • Monitor and document outcomes, collect critical information and improve program design.
Organizations may require assistance with a comprehensive evaluation study. In addition, research firms may contract for several services, including instrument development, data collection, synthesis and analysis, reporting, etc.
Strategic Planning • Envision outcomes and set program development and evaluation priorities.
Often, organizations need assistance with evaluation planning. Ideally, evaluation planning occurs in conjunction with original program design; however, especially in times of organizational growth and change, the development of a clear program logic and associated evaluation plan must be devised after a program or intervention has existed for months, or even years.
Such planning helps organizations understand how program inputs and activities directly relate to outcomes, and it supports continuous program improvement and outcome measurement.
