Evaluation Evidence: Overview

This section is a guide to the independent external evidence on the quality of MARS work, and the products and processes it designs and develops. The linked pages offer more detail, in layers down to raw data, so that you can probe as far as you may wish. The structure and content of most of these evaluation pages is under the control of Inverness Research Associates (inverness-research.org) (IR), the independent evaluation consultants for MARS' work. If asked, they would be happy to respond to further enquiries, as will many of the referees from MARS client systems, whose email addresses are given with their reports.

The evidence is grouped under three headings, outlined below:

• Peer Review Evidence from major funders of MARS' work.
• Client Reports - reports on confidential interviews and open references.
• Double-blind Impact Studies - a pilot exemplar of an unusual approach

In addition, we ourselves report on evidence from

• MARS own data analyses - evidence on the instruments themselves.
