"I was looking for an independent assessment team for an education research project when I found out about CARE. They were responsive, enthusiastic, and very helpful in crafting the proposal (NSF:IUSE), responding to reviewers, and designing student surveys. I would highly recommend CARE to any CSUN faculty in need of project assessment." -- Cheryl Van Buskirk, PI, Professor in Biology, CSUN
"We have been working with CARE as evaluators for our federally-funded grant since 2014. The evaluation team has been instrumental in developing assessment tools, administering the assessment instrument, and providing annual feedback to continuously improve our programming for students. We are very pleased with the reports we are given and are happy to continue our work together." -- Gabriela Chavira, Lead PI, Student Training Co-Director, BUILD PODER
"As a partner in our i3-funded project, CARE was instrumental in the design, monitoring, and evaluation of a rigorous, randomized controlled study that impacted over 4,200 students across 9 school districts in California. The expertise and professionalism of CARE researchers made it possible for us to go from submitting a successful $3 million proposal to completing a study that was rated as 'meets WWC standards with reservations.' " -- Ivan Cheng, PI, Professor in Secondary Education, CSUN
"CARE has been invaluable to the success of my grant applications and the success of current grants through their empirical mentorship. I have a basic working knowledge of how-to code, manage and analyze data, but with the assistance of the CARE team, am now confident in these areas. Even better, because I learn from them through weekly meetings, I can now use and apply them independently in future!" -- Claire White, PI, Professor in Religious Studies
"Support of the CARE team was essential for us to land and execute an $1.25M multi-institution project in re-designing Calculus for Life Sciences Course. From planning multilevel project assessment at the proposal stage, to approval of complex multi-institutional IRB human subject research protocols, to supporting the research of the team’s psychologists, to assisting the PIs in reporting, to objective project evaluation --- CARE delivered on any task that came their way and proved to be a cornerstone of the project. Being a mathematician, I found the bureaucracy of human subject research particularly difficult to navigate. Andy and Scott made it simple by providing ample support. Partnering with CARE was one of best decisions I made." -- Alex Alekseenko, PI, Professor in Mathematics
