About the EvalGroup
EvalGroup is a nationally recognized research and evaluation firm with more than 17 years of experience helping organizations understand what is working, what is not, and what to do next. We have led more than 70 grants and contracts across some of the nation's most complex health and social programs, partnering with agencies including SAMHSA, HUD, CDC, NIH, HRSA, and CMS to produce research that drives real decisions.
Our work spans public health, behavioral health, housing, workforce development, and community-based programs. Wherever the need exists to measure impact and improve outcomes, EvalGroup brings the expertise to do it well.
Our Methodology
At EvalGroup, we believe the way you measure a program matters just as much as what you measure. Our methodology was built on a simple truth: traditional evaluation frameworks were not designed with every community in mind. When the tools don't fit the people, the data doesn't tell the whole story, and organizations end up making decisions based on an incomplete picture.
We design our evaluation approach around the communities being served, not just the programs serving them. That means centering the voices of those most affected, accounting for the historical and social context that shapes outcomes, and delivering findings that actually reflect what is happening on the ground.
The result is research and evaluation that is more accurate, more actionable, and more useful to the people who need it most.
