The CORE Model of Intervention: Evaluation and other research services lead to improved services, which lead to more competitive proposals, which lead to more proposals funded.

The Process

Interested parties meet with a member from CORE to complete a Needs Assessment, which helps determine what services are needed to best reach our client’s goal. Each evaluation project is catered to our clientele. Clients are then provided with a Scope of Work, which outlines services, costs, and anticipated timeline.
