December 2020 – Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab: 3 Years in Action
Three years ago, the Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab launched as a strategic research partner for Colorado government – specializing in actionable research that could improve the lives of Colorado residents.
Starting with philanthropic support and a deep partnership with the Colorado governor’s office, the Lab has grown to accomplish 38 research projects in conjunction with 29 government agencies and 21 academic, private, and nonprofit research partners.
We created “Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab: 3 Years in Action” to report on the impact of our work, and to share how to connect with our efforts.
