Mathematica, in collaboration with the Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management, will host a hybrid event at the end of January to discuss insights from The Oxford Handbook on Program Design and Implementation Evaluation. This resource presents state-of-the-art methods, such as rapid-cycle evaluations, performance evaluations, and implementation science, written by experts in these areas. This event will explore how program design and evaluation methods have evolved to meet changing needs and discuss real-world examples of how these approaches have been used at each stage to maximize the chances of a program’s success. Mathematica invites social science researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and funders keen on understanding the nuanced approaches in program design and evaluation to attend.
