External Evaluation for Grants
Other Areas of Support Evaluation and Applied ResearchWe provide services for all your evaluation and applied research needs. We work with non-profits and universities who are required to hire an external evaluator as terms of your grant.
We have expertise in summative and formative evaluations. In developmental evaluations. In data analysis and social network analysis.
We start with the developing the evaluation questions and data collection instruments. After that, we’ll conduct interviews, focus groups, surveys, desk reviews and more to collect exactly the data needed to answer your evaluation questions.
Then, we compile our findings and recommendations in a report.
Every step of the way is collaborative, so you’ll always have your finger on the pulse.
Training and Capacity BuildingIt’s always a good idea to have some evaluation and community research skills in house. Hiring an evaluator or researcher isn’t always realistic though. That doesn’t mean that your current staff can’t build their own skills.
We can help build the capacity of your staff in evaluation and research, regardless of their background.
Ask us about a one-off training session or extended training for your staff.
In person or virtual sessions are available.
Reports & Data VisualizationThe primary deliverable of any evaluation or research project is the final report.
It doesn’t matter how great the data is that you collect, you need to interpret the data well and communicate the story that data tells. This is why writing an amazing report replete with easy to interpret and beautiful visualizations is essential.
LEAP takes our reports seriously so that you can be proud that your story is being told with clarity and concision.
Diversity, Equity, and InclusionDEI isn’t a trend. It’s an imperative.
When working with data, proper interpretation is essential. The ability to interpret data well isn’t about having a Ph.D. in Statistics. It’s about understanding the context and the culture. It speaking the local language. If those who know are kept out of the process because they are “just part of the community” and “lacking expertise”, then you’re doing it wrong.
External Evaluation for GrantsYou’re writing a proposal and the funder is requiring an external evaluator. That’s where we come in.
We’ll even help draft the evaluation section of your proposal for no charge.
We specialize in grants from federal agencies like the NSF, CDC, NIH, USAID, USDA, the USTDA, and more.
