Current projects include an evaluation of a partnership between public schools and community science institutions, training for youth-serving programs in defining and tracking outputs and outcomes, a federally-funded evaluation of a community collaboration to prevent child abuse, the evaluation of programs to involve urban residents at a museum of contemporary art, and working with a local foundation to implement and evaluate a program to promote women's economic stability.
