Assistance

Leaders throughout the state can improve operations and plan effectively for the future with the help of practical, customized assistance provided by the Institute. This assistance takes a variety of forms, from helping a county evaluate its service delivery structure or coordinating a state agency's move to implement Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, to facilitating a planning process among local, regional, and state health care units.

When local governments and state agencies launch new initiatives, they need a systematic way to determine if their activities are on track to meet their objectives. Evaluation experts at the Vinson Institute are skilled at assessing the effectiveness of different endeavors, from individual programs to interdepartmental or even systemwide efforts.

Through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach, our evaluation team can work closely with you to design a plan that establishes objective measures of progress from the outset. The resulting data, collected and analyzed by the team, provides insights into what works and what needs improvement.

To help satisfy evaluation components in grants, the Vinson Institute can work with you to develop evaluation strategies during the grant proposal stage as well as assist with evaluations after grants have been funded.
