- "The START Program provided invaluable analytic support to my consulting practice as part of a strategic planning exercise for a client focused on sexual and reproductive health needs in developing countries. The START team consisted of two talented graduate students and their faculty mentor, and worked intensively over a two month period to produce spreadsheets outlining the donor, partner, and regional landscape related to my client's capacities and aims. The team was professional, responsive, and thorough, and produced good quality final products that provide important data for the client's strategic decision making." Jacqueline Sherris Director, Sherris Consulting
- "I was so pleased with their job and they not only did everything they were asked to do, they added a lot to the dialog and made the outcome of the scientific advisory committee's findings substantially better."
