We have developed special expertise in fostering communication and collaboration across disciplines at major research universities. This has led to our involvement in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a variety of interdisciplinary education and research programs.
IGERT Evaluation Services
The IGERT (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship) Program of the National Science Foundation is a highly competitive grant program that provides funding for PhD students and interdisciplinary program elements in universities across the United States. SustainaMetrix has become a respected and trusted external evaluator for IGERT projects at a growing number of prestigious universities, including Tufts University, the University of California San Diego, and the University of Maryland Baltimore County.

Our Unique External Evaluation Approach
We provide much more than external evaluation reporting. We believe that high quality monitoring and evaluation promotes learning and adaptation and should be employed throughout the life of a project. If done effectively, it can be used to guide planning and implementation, as well as long-term sustainability of program elements. Our clients frequently comment on the high value added to their project through SustainaMetrix's involvement.
