Program Evaluation & Proposal Support

We help research teams design strong evaluation plans, demonstrate impact, and strengthen competitive proposals. Our work supports principal investigators, research centers, and grant-funded initiatives in understanding outcomes and improving programs.

Services include:
• Evaluation of federally funded projects
• Evaluation plan development for research proposals
• Proposal development, review, and critique
• Impact reporting for funders and stakeholders

"I have attended two of Yvette’s STEM education proposal development workshops. The structure and purpose that Yvette brings to the collaborative writing process brings team members 'onto the same page,' and attending the workshops with my collaborators was invaluable. Beyond helping with writing a high-quality proposal, her process facilitates successful execution of the project.

Both of my workshops with Yvette resulted in proposals that were funded by NSF, and I continue to apply her methods

when planning and writing up new projects."

Organizational Assessment & Strategy

We help leaders understand the organizational factors shaping team effectiveness, workplace and academic experience, and program performance. Through assessment and facilitated strategy discussions, we help organizations identify priorities and move forward with clarity. Our work draws on the MESA® framework, which helps organizations move from insight to action through a structured process of measurement, evaluation, strategy development, and implementation.

Services include:
• Organizational and leadership assessments
• Employee and stakeholder surveys and focus groups
• Policy and practice review
• Strategic planning facilitation
• Change management support

Workshops & Professional Development

We offer interactive workshops that equip leaders and teams with practical tools for addressing real-world challenges in engineering and STEM organizations.
