CFCWB Research & Evaluation (Areas & Services)

One of the core activities of the Center is to conduct research and program evaluation in partnership with faculty collaborators and community partners. The Center frequently serves as the tracking and evaluation arm for university partners across a number of disciplines including medicine, environmental health, public health, and engineering.
