NORC also routinely conducts less formal assessments of federal programs. These assessments typically involve a review of program materials or data and the comparison of reported outcomes to program objectives. Methods used for assessments typically include analysis of secondary data generated by the program or other sources. They may also include quantitative and qualitative data collection. Outputs generally include reports outlining accomplishments, success factors, barriers to success, lessons learned, and next steps. NORC currently works with several agencies as a resource center and planning contractor, assisting with program assessments for several grant programs.
