We are pleased to announce that Dr. Snigdha Mukherjee has joined FAIMER as our new Director of Evaluation. She comes to us from the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) where she was Associate Director for Scientific Integrity in the Division of Evaluation & Research. At LPHI, she was asked to conceptualize, plan, and implement evaluation activities for funded grants and contracts. She is a sociologist with expertise in survey research methodology, program evaluation theory, and methods as well as quantitative and qualitative techniques. Her postdoctoral training was in health behavior. Dr. Mukherjee has extensive experience in conceptualizing, planning and designing, fielding and managing projects, conducting data analysis, and writing reports and manuscripts for publication in research and evaluation. She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses and has mentored junior faculty and staff in program evaluation, research methods, and design.
Dr. Mukherjee and her team will soon be looking at enhancing evaluation of FAIMER Education programs and The Network: Towards Unity for Health. One area we are exploring is in-depth case studies of some FAIMER projects. Dr. Mukherjee will be working with FAIMER Regional Institute directors to help identify possible projects.
