CCI Services

Program Evaluation and Research Design  

As defined by the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology, Applied Sociology is “any use (often client-centered) of the sociological perspective and/or its tools in the understanding of, intervention in, and/or enhancement of human social life.” At CCI, this means research teams use a wide range of Sociological Theories and Methodologies to help agencies understand the myriad of social problems in our community, with the goal of improving the quality of life for all citizens. CCI works with community organizations, both large and small, on a personal level to provide them with the results they need to succeed.

Needs and Assets Assessment  

An assessment of the needs and assets unique to a neighborhood, agency, or program is a helpful tool in social science research. Such an assessment provides the foundation from which tailored initiatives can be formed and implemented. CCI uses a variety of data gathering techniques for needs and assets assessments, such as telephone and door-to-door surveys, face-to-face interviews, focus groups, and community forums. The combination of these techniques assists the research team in painting the most comprehensive picture for stakeholders.

Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping  

GIS is a system of hardware and software used for storage, retrieval, mapping, and analysis of geographic data. Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including the operating personnel and the data that go into the system. CCI uses published and proprietary data in a GIS to spatially examine social aspects for mapping and analysis.

Data Collection: Online and in-person Surveys, Forms, Focus Groups, and Interviews 

CCI develops or refines data collection instruments for each project as needed to collect quantitative and qualitative data. CCI staff are also trained in conducting focus groups and interview. Online data collection is conducted through Qualtrics, our web survey tool.

S.W.O.T Analysis and Historical Agency Review  

For a nonprofit, a SWOT analysis can help leaders make informed decisions about programs, fundraising, partnerships, and resource allocation. It highlights areas where the organization excels, identifies challenges that need attention, uncovers opportunities for growth and community impact, and helps prepare for external risks such as funding changes or increased competition. CCI staff are trained to facilitate and conduct SWOT analyses, providing nonprofits with a structured, objective process to assess their organizational capacity and develop actionable strategies for strengthening effectiveness and sustainability.
