The Evaluation Core provides high quality, state of the art evaluation services. Our efforts are aimed at increasing evaluation activity, increased use of evaluation findings to guide programs, services and activities, and ultimately improved quality of programs, services, and activities.
“The Evaluation Core helped us conceptualize our ideas and program using a logic model that we incorporated into two grant proposals – that really helped strengthen our proposals as our ideas and metrics were able to be communicated and visualized in a format easily understood by any discipline.”
Christine Stake, Neuroscience of Pain, Lurie Children's Hospital
"Sarah and Maryann were extraordinarily helpful in guiding our group through the Focus Group process. This was a brand new process for me and some of our staff and both Sarah and Maryann provided in person training and role play to allow for more comfort and success of our focus groups."
Annette Calixto-Logan, General Academic Pediatrics, Lurie Children's Hospital
“In the middle of a very busy grant proposal, Sarah and the Evaluation Core Services team stepped in to assist and they added tremendous value to the process. Our project definitely benefited from their expertise and we appreciated how easy it was to work with them.”
Aric M. Shimek, BSN, RN, CCRN, CPN, Program Manager, Telehealth Programs, Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago
"Evaluation Core has provided expertise on evaluation from the perspective of different stakeholders for a physical activity intervention. Their input on our grant application has strengthened the implementation and evaluation plan. The Evaluation Core team are a pleasure to work with and take the time to understand the needs of our research study and provide appropriate input. We are looking forward to working with them in the future."
