MPR’s work is organized into six program areas, shown on the left. These program areas reflect our wide range of interests and expertise, with the work of each area intersecting with the others. MPR staff often work across program areas on projects. For example, under one contract, or as part of several projects, we might do any or all of the following:

• Design a survey or other data collection initiative, create the survey instrument, collect data, and analyze the results.
• Help interpret legislative mandates, assess program implementation, and develop new policy initiatives.
• Analyze data from existing cross-sectional or longitudinal databases.
• Suggest alternative ways to structure information systems, finances, and programs.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of specific education programs.
• Create and maintain a website to disseminate results.
• Write, edit, design, and publish reports and other materials.
