Research & Evaluation

OUR MISSION

CUNY Collaborative Programs in the Office of Academic Affairs oversees the University’s partnerships with the New York City public school system, including the Middle Grades Initiative/GEAR UP, Early College Initiative, the At Home in College program, and College Now, CUNY’s largest collaborative program in 350 high schools and the 17 CUNY college campuses. The role of research and evaluation in this work is a critical one, as research provides the data and information essential to develop and monitor effective programs and partnerships.

The primary focus of the Research & Evaluation Unit within Collaborative Programs is to examine these programs and the impact they have on students’ academic skills and achievement, college readiness, and other key program outcomes. We provide statistical support and analysis, including empirical research and program evaluation, to a variety of audiences, including program administrators, campus officials, and a national audience of educators, researchers and policymakers.
