Research & Evaluation
CHES provides highly trained, qualified experts and capacity-building strategies to meet the needs of our clients — child welfare and public health systems, community based organizations, international organizations and local government programs. Evaluation significantly improves an organization’s effectiveness and efficiency, increases impact and is an essential requirement for any funded federal or state program or private foundation. We use a collaborative, team approach with considerable focus on implementation science, data science, and data analysis including consultation, instrument development and fidelity measures. CHES evaluations are based on the highest ethical standards and principles.
Why evaluate?
- Measure Outcomes
Knowing the extent to which a program’s mission, goals and objectives are met is the reason we focus our work on measurable outcomes. You learn what works and where you can improve and you learn how you can effectively plan for the future. - Improve Program Design and Implementation
Regular assessment of project activities ensures efficiency and identifies areas that need improvement. - Illustrate Program Impact
Impact is what programs seek. The information gathered and measured demonstrates to the community a program’s success or progress and its potential for sustainability. Impact findings are essential for public relations, staff morale, and attracting and retaining support from current and potential stakeholders.
CHES Solutions Group utilizes a variety of tools tailored to fit the project at hand. Our CHES team is dedicated to the clients success. We won’t leave you with a dense, overly complicated document to wade through; we provide summary information including program recommendations and implications for sustainability to ensure the success of the project. All of our reports are backed by rigorous science. We have a solid history of working with federal and state funded programs and are knowledgeable of their requirements for further funding. We are trust-worthy, ethical and have a work culture that promotes excellence.
