About Us
Founded in 2019, Consortium Research and Development Partners (CRDP) is a woman-owned evaluation firm located in Chicago, IL. CRDP is dedicated to working jointly with clients to meet the challenges of developing and sustaining successful programs. Our goal is to help organizations understand their impact and opportunities. We provide the expertise to help you evaluate your government, non-profit, educational or company programs for process, performance and impact. Our consultants and associates have extensive experience in developing evaluation strategies and methodologies designed to provide formative and summative feedback to project managers, program personnel, funders, clients and other key stakeholders.
CRDP is large enough to employ several experienced evaluators, yet small enough to be highly responsive to our client needs. We’re passionate about using data to demonstrate effectiveness, ensure accountability, and facilitate learning.
Crystal Wash oversees CRPD’s quantitative and qualitative research portfolio, learning analyses of datasets and working with partners to examining program and policy impact. Crystal's team brings over ten years of experience working in a variety of organizations helping to strengthen analytics capacity and the use of data to inform decision- making. Their cross- cutting professional experience includes working for education companies and non-profits to develop evaluation designs, impact metrics, and reports for various audiences.
