Why is social research useful for our organization?

Funders often require social service agencies to conduct program evaluations.  Such research formally measures the achievement of the goals and objectives of the organization.  Often, evaluations measure the adherence of the organization to the program design or the process of providing the program or service.

Measurement of formal goals and objectives enables agencies to document successes and build upon them.

Accountability to boards, clients, and communities can be readily demonstrated.
 
Planning to meet the needs of clients and communities is facilitated.  Resources are used most effectively.

How can an external researcher understand our agency?

Participation in the design of the study and the collection of the data by your staff and clients ensures that the study results are valid.  Their differing roles bring differing perspectives to your agency and its work.

Variety in the methodology ensures that the study results are comprehensive.  Numerical data provides and overview while textual data gives insight by filling in the important details.
