Evaluation Research and Development (ERAD)

ERAD was created to enhance the capacity of the University of Arizona to conduct evaluation research important for children, youth and families. Situated in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences we are founded on the Land Grant philosophy and thus, dedicated to creating and sharing knowledge that will contribute to the optimal growth and development of children, youth and families.

ERAD has three major goals:

• The facilitation of collaborative, longitudinal, and policy oriented evaluation research.
