We are an interdisciplinary team of specialists from across the University undertaking programme evaluations as well as policy-focussed analysis and research.

We design and conduct evaluations of services and interventions in the public and commercial sector using theory led evaluation approaches. We specialise in theory of change and logic model development as well as evaluations of complex interventions in the health, educational or public service sector.

Our core services include:

  • programme evaluations;
  • policy analysis and guidance;
  • systematic review, literature review and rapid evidence assessments;
  • quantitative and qualitative expertise; and
  • survey design and analysis.

Our team is currently made up of two professors, a postdoctoral senior research fellow, a postdoctoral research fellow and a research assistant.
