Welcome
The art and science of data-informed decision making.
The Data Innovation Project partners with organizations to increase their capacity to utilize data to clearly define their work, achieve results, and demonstrate impact in Maine and beyond. We work with and support organizations to use data to affect change and tell compelling stories.
Let’s work together
Know you have data and evaluation needs but unsure of where to start or what to ask for? Have a specific data question that needs some focused expertise? Curious to learn more about working together on a project? We offer a few options to help you think through your data needs:
Concept Chats
Free, informal, conceptual, and adaptive conversations with one or two DIP team members. These 1-hour chats are designed for organizations that have general, non-specific data collection questions and need resources and thought partnership to get started. The end goal of these chats is that you walk away with resources and ideas for what to do next.
Data Clinics
Free, one-time support sessions we offer to Maine-based mission-driven organizations. Data clinics include up to 90 minutes of focused and individualized assistance on a specific data- or evaluation-related issue that your organization is grappling with. A Data Clinic may be right for you if you are looking to troubleshoot your work with our team of experts and walk away with a tangible product at the end of the session.
Scoping Calls
For organizations that have funding or are seeking specific funding who are interested in working with the DIP and want to gain a better understanding of how we might partner. Additionally, the DIP can provide feedback on your project plans to support a future contract or fee-for-service assistance.
