External Research Partner Roster
Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab
Colorado's state-facing evaluation lab keeps a standing pool of outside researchers it draws on for paid project work, rather than running open grant competitions. You join by questionnaire and are contacted when a fitting project appears.
