Program Evaluation and Policy Analysis

HumRRO’s staff of researchers, analysts, and statisticians have performed a wide array of studies to evaluate existing and prospective programs and policies. We have worked with our clients to answer a variety of questions, starting with, is there evidence to suggest that some form of intervention may be needed to address an organizational concern? Our research can be prospective in nature, conducted to determine the best means of achieving a specific aim, such as increased employee satisfaction and retention. In other instances the objective has been to determine if changes in programs and/or policies that have already been implemented are achieving their goals, or perhaps are resulting in unintended consequences.

Efforts to recruit these young people are typically challenging due to a variety of factors such as a strong economy, low unemployment rates, and the tendency for increasing numbers of high school graduates matriculate directly to college.

As part of the 12-month follow-up of this project, participants in the Employment Retention and Advancement (ERA) program in 14 sites across the country were contacted at the 12-month anniversary of their random assignment into the study.

Policies to Improve Junior Officer Retention

Policies to Improve Junior Officer Retention

Army officers are accessed through a variety of avenues, including Officer Candidate School (OCS), the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and the United States Military Academy (USMA). The latter two paths can represent a substantial investment on the part of the Army. Over one third of ROTC graduates receive financial assistance to complete their education, and all USMA cadets attend the academy on full scholarship.
