Scope of work includes evaluation design, participant randomization, data collection and analysis, integration with nFORM (or similar systems), IRB compliance, and reporting of outcomes.
CBCI is seeking evaluators with experience in federally funded program evaluations, family strengthening or responsible fatherhood initiatives, and strong quantitative and qualitative research expertise. Experience with nFORM or similar data systems is strongly preferred.
