Many funding agencies now require details about the logic model supporting the project and/or the theory of change. KWE can help you identify appropriate theoretical frameworks from the literature (i.e., evidence-based) and craft a clear, well-aligned model to enhance the competitiveness of your proposal.

We prepare data collection instruments to meet the needs of each project, drawing on psychometrically valid existing instruments whenever possible for quantitative survey instruments. We design surveys, interview and focus group protocols, observation rubrics, and templates for institutional data.

KWE’s experience designing evaluation plans for projects, teaching research design and methods, and securing funding for projects has prepared us to develop an evaluation strategy for your funded project or assist you in crafting a competitive proposal to fund your project.

If you are interested in competing for a grant and writing us in as your evaluators, we would be happy to design an evaluation strategy for you and draft those sections of your application, free of charge. If you would prefer fee-for-service grant writing assistance, we are also available to assist you in crafting an evaluation strategy for someone else to conduct.

Feel free to contact us to discuss options.

KWE has been lead evaluator on many federally funded projects in K-12 education, campus based initiatives in higher education, and projects of national associations. Our areas of evaluation expertise include gender and diversity in STEM, college student access and retention, professional development for teachers and faculty, institutional cultural change, and leadership development in education (K-20).

We prepare written and audio-visual materials to highlight program strengths and areas for improvement and can deliver these to any relevant stakeholders.
