About Evalumetrics Research
What Is Evalumetrics Research? -

Evalumetrics Research is a private, independent research consulting firm
providing evaluation and strategic planning services to a variety of public
and private organizations addressing prevention of substance abuse,
violence, or other social problems.  Evalumetrics also conducts evaluations
of education, criminal justice, public health and mental health prevention,
intervention and treatment programs.  Because Evalumetrics is a small
business, planning, research and evaluation services are offered at a fraction
of the cost of most large consulting firms.

Philosophy of Evaluation -

Evalumetrics Research believes that evaluation should be an integral part of
all programs and as such an evaluator should be involved from the very
beginning of project planning.  Programs structured to allow for a solid
evaluation are designed better and have a far greater chance of receiving
funding and long-term support. The evaluator must work cooperatively while
maintaining independence.  Solid evaluation is critical to quality programing,
accountability to funders, and accessing scarce competitive funds.

Available Services -

Evalumetrics provides personalized services including project development,
grant preparation, data collection protocols, database development, analysis,
report and presentation writing and policy development as well as training in
evaluation for program staff and administrators..

Evalumetrics has provided logistical and analytical support for the Student
Risk and Protective Factor Survey.  The survey has been conducted in
school districts throughout the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier of New York.  
A sample report is available by

Evalumetrics now offers a Parent Risk and Protective Factor Survey for local
school districts and prevention programs.  See the details on the
Parent page.

Cost -

Evalumetrics believes that quality evaluation does not have to be expensive.  
Programs interested in integrating evaluation into a new or existing project
can contact Evalumetrics for an initial no-cost consultation.  If a project is
being developed that requires a proposal for funding, Evalumetrics will
generally offer technical assistance in preparing the proposal at no cost if
there is an adequate evaluation component.  As an independent small
business, costs for services from Evalumetrics are considerably less than
from large research firms.


Rob Lillis, who is President and primary research consultant for
