The Research and Evaluation Division works extensively with state and local agencies to design evaluations, identify outcome measures, and conduct evaluations of innovative family centered programs and other health and human services related programs and projects. The Center has conducted many studies of national and regional significance. Center researchers use both quantitative and qualitative methodologies to build evaluations that provide measurable results and an understanding of program philosophy and process. Current NRC projects are listed below and completed work may be accessed on the toolbar at right.

In Summer 2006 the work of the Iowa Center for Evaluation Research with links to the College of Public Health was located within the National Resource Center for Family Centered Practice. To go to descriptions of the projects of the Iowa Center for Evaluation Research, click here.
