Infographics based on Client Collaborations
In most cases, our projects cluster around the same types of training programs. For example, we currently evaluate several grants within the following funding families: NIH's IMSD, IRACDA, RISE, and PREP.
This clustering strategy enables us to offer our teams a broader perspective on their efforts and often enables our team to aggregate data to investigate deeper trends. A recent example of this is an infographic created based on 251 exiting postdocs from five separate IRACDA programs. |

Publications based on Evaluation/RESEARCH data
SEI’s evaluation plans, when appropriate, include rigorous quasi-experimental designs. In 10 recent cases, these designs have led to strong collaborations and co-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals.
