Goodman Research Group, Inc. (GRG) is a research company that specializes in evaluating programs, materials, and services. We have a wide range of clients: broadcast media (from television networks to production companies); formal education institutions; independent organizations; foundations; research and development companies; and government agencies. Our expertise extends to all areas of evaluation research, including feasibility studies and needs assessments, formative research, process evaluation, outcome evaluation, and summative evaluation, as well as related services such as consultation and workshops.
