Research, Evaluation, and Analytics
Our Research, Evaluation and Analytics Work
JFF’s research, evaluation and analytic services are shaped by our deep connections to system leaders and on the ground changemakers in the worlds of work and learning. If you are working to improve the economic and educational opportunities for low-income youth and adults, we have the skills and expertise to rigorously inquire, build knowledge, and communicate evidence towards that change.
JFF’s research, evaluation and analytics services build on 35 years of field leading work in high-impact model design, technical assistance, peer learning, dissemination, policy analysis, and professional collaboration services for projects that promote educational and economic opportunity. Our team of researchers, evaluators and analysts draw from this accumulated expertise to provide services that are especially sensitive and nuanced to field actors.
