Performance Measurement & Management

Effectiveness is a key measure of any public policy. Carnevale Associates specializes in performance measurement & management for drug control policy and criminal justice – spanning policing, substance use treatment, and substance use prevention.

Carnevale Associates developed a system for the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to evaluate the effectiveness of the nation Drug Control Strategy, building off of our Founder's groundbreaking work to establish an ONDCP Performance Measures of Effectiveness System while in government. Our team also works with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP) as part of the Performance Measurement Tool Support Contract team, helping OJP assess grantee performance across a wide variety of justice programs. We have helped assess the effectiveness of national substance use prevention activities, as part of the team that developed annual accountability reports for the Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, and consulted on performance management for the National Guard Bureau and the Veterans Health Administration. Carnevale Associates has also worked on performance management at the state & local level with the District of Columbia and Rochester, New York.
