LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR SERVICES

Program Evaluation

Evaluation is essential to performance and quality improvement, as well as demonstrating program effectiveness. More and more, funders are requesting valid and reliable evidence that programs are effective in achieving their intended outcomes.

Using a participatory approach, our consultants will help you design a program evaluation that fits your organization's needs. If you already have an evaluation in place, we can assess the current plan to determine if it's designed appropriately and rigorously.

Manuscript & Grant Writing

Manuscript Writing: Sharing results with the scientific community in the form of published papers in peer-reviewed journals is one of a researcher's greatest honors. Maybe you need help getting started on a manuscript, revising a resubmit, or need someone to take the lead on papers that are taking a backseat to other responsibilities. Whatever your need, we can help. Our consultants have a successful track record when it comes to writing manuscripts, as author and co-author on numerous publications.

Grant Writing: Funding is crucial for the researcher and community mental health professional alike. We can help you research appropriate grants for your purpose and provide guidance on writing and managing grants.

Qualitative Data Collection & Analysis

We can help with some or all components of qualitative research. You can tailor the services listed below to create your own qualitative research package:

Interview and Focus Group guide development
Conducting in-depth interviews
Codebook development
Coding text for substantive themes
Writing up results from the analysis

Our consultants use Atlas.ti to manage and code qualitative data.

Learning Collaborative

If you are a researcher that has incorporated a Learning Collaborative into your research study, or a mental health agency that is gearing up for an evidence-based treatment implementation initiative and wants to use a Learning Collaborative to facilitate successful implementation, we can help you organize and conduct a Learning Collaborative.

Using a web-based approach, our consultants have successfully led a state-wide Learning Collaborative with community mental health clinics implementing an evidence-based psychosocial treatment for SMI.
