Our expertise in research and evaluation provides the basis for a working partnership in all aspects of the research endeavor. Our focuses include formative, process, outcome and impact program evaluation studies, and research on the prevalence and correlates of urban public health problems.
Technical assistance is available for data management and analysis as well.
We adopt an interdisciplinary approach to health and social evaluation research and welcome the challenge of working with innovative neighborhood-based programs that target underserved populations. The New York City Beacons Evaluation Project is an evaluation study of the New York City Public Schools after-school Beacons Program. The Beacon program provides developmental support and opportunities that young people need to grow up safe and healthy. This program is funded by the Academy for Educational Development from a grant of the Anney Casie Foundation. The New York City Childhood Asthma Initiative provides technical assistance and training to community based organizations in communities in the South Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn around asthma.
