Overcoming the Costs of Evaluation
Evaluation can be expensive, but there are steps you can take to keep costs down:14
- Partner with local university research departments (schools of social work, public health and psychology departments).
- Establish an agreement with a graduate student to conduct his or her thesis or dissertation about the impact of interagency collaboration on victims and criminal justice outcomes.
- Tap team members with evaluation expertise.
- Include an evaluation subcommittee on your SART and ask that committee members commit to professional development in the areas of research and evaluation.
- Integrate evaluation costs as a line-item budget cost.
