Carissa Schutzman, PhD, Executive Director
The University of Cincinnati Evaluation Services Center (UCESC) has operated as an independent evaluation center since 1996.?We serve as an external evaluator for projects at UC and provide rigorous data collection and statistical analysis for many local, state and national partners. We collaborate with partners to solve real-world problems and provide useful results. Our early involvement at the proposal or program design stage can increase opportunities for successful funding, improve the evaluation plan, and maximize the integrity and reporting of results. Our team has the knowledge, expertise, and experience to serve as an evaluation and applied research partner with particular subject matter expertise in education, human services, and public health.
