IU Center for Evaluation, Policy, & Research (CEPR) is a trusted evaluation partner and produces time-tested results. CEPR’s methodological expertise spans quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches. Evaluations are strategically designed to drive continuous improvement, measure success, and champion equitable practices. Offering a comprehensive suite of formative and summative evaluation methodologies, CEPR helps clients—including IU faculty—examine the impacts and effectiveness of policies, programs, and/or practices, explore how programs are being implemented on the ground, understand the connections between program design and intended outcomes, build internal evaluation capacities and capabilities, and more. CEPR works with external organizations and internal groups alike and can be written into a grant as an external evaluator, even for most grants submitted by IU faculty.

Externally-funded programs/projects often require awardees to evaluate stated goals and overall program impact to demonstrate accountability and verify success. Working with an external evaluator like CEPR can help ensure an evaluation is conducted with rigor, meets funders’ standards and requirements, and produces robust data that inform future decision-making.
