HEALTH RESEARCH AND PROGRAM SUPPORT
Evaluation Research
SRA provides expertise and support to government, academic, and private health institutions across the spectrum of program evaluation services, from planning and implementing evaluations to analyzing and reporting results to diverse stakeholders such as legislatures, funders and service providers. Through our evaluation research, we empower program directors to get access to the information they need to set program goals, allocate resources, mobilize support and facilitate program management.
Public health programs that cannot demonstrate their effectiveness are at substantial risk of being eliminated. Evaluation efforts, therefore, need to be closely aligned with program goals, and implemented to allow for continuous quality improvements throughout the life of a program. Our program evaluations are tailored to each client's specific needs and integrate our utilization-focused approach with rigorous, multidisciplinary evaluation research methods that can be utilized to establish sustainable and autonomous data collection and management processes.
We view program evaluation as a collaborative, continuous and iterative process, from design to long-term impacts. Our evaluation teams help program directors perform feasibility and needs assessments, collect process data, and assess and interpret outcomes that will inform important programmatic and funding decisions.
