Management and Information Systems Support for NIDRR

New Editions provides planning, evaluation, research, technical assistance and logistical services to support NIDRR program planning and improvement and to meet accountability requirements. We provide program management and evaluation support to NIDRR on its essential evaluation activities: formative program reviews for its grantees and summative expert reviews for its programs. We complete literature reviews, policy analyses, inventories, and secondary data analyses; provide technical support for computer-related systems such as databases, knowledge sharing systems, and web-based libraries; supply conference and meeting support for seven events annually. All of our meetings are fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.

“NIDRR has been truly fortunate to have New Editions support our evaluation process. They were knowledgeable of Federal accountability requirements and program evaluation principles and applied this expertise to the NIDRR programs.”
