The primary goals of the Center for Evaluation, Policy, & Research (CEPR) are:
- To conduct rigorous, high-quality, and nonpartisan evaluation, policy analyses, and research that address real-world problems within and across multiple sectors (e.g., health and medicine, business and industry, workforce development, criminal justice, human and social services, government, science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science [STEM+C], international development, and education.)
- To provide evaluation, policy, and research support and services for faculty, researchers, departments, and centers across IU-Bloomington, as well as for campus and university initiatives, for the purpose of advancing the mission and strategic plan of the campus and university.
- To expand knowledge of effective strategies in evaluation, policy, and research analyses by providing training and capacity building, developing and disseminating innovative approaches, and modeling an integrated theory of policy and evaluation research.
