News from Carsey
The Carsey Institute is pleased to announce two promotions from within the organization in 2009. Barbara Wauchope has been named director of evaluation and Marybeth J. Mattingly is director of research on vulnerable families.
In her new leadership role at Carsey, Dr. Mattingly will be responsible for planning and overseeing research on vulnerable families. She will work with Carsey’s research faculty, tenure track partners across the university, and experts in the field to develop timely analyses of issues affecting children and families at risk. She will coordinate with the Hatcher Group in Washington, D.C., to focus our research on current policy debate or needs and to get research results in the hands of decision makers. She will engage with our core funders and collaborate with Carsey leadership to identify diverse sources of revenue to fund research at the institute, as well as participating in the broader field and making connections with those at other key institutions across the country.
As director of evaluation, Dr. Wauchope will lead Carsey’s successful evaluation program, overseeing the wide range of ongoing research, planning future evaluation, and leading the team of faculty and students conducting rigorous evaluations for organizations in the region and nationally. She will actively engage with local and regional nonprofit organizations to promote Carsey as a potential partner for their evaluation needs. She will lead the effort to bring Carsey evaluation research to a national level in our core areas of strength.
