DILLINGER RESEARCH AND APPLIED DATA INC

Dillingerrad worked with a largely rural western state's department of education to collect, aggregate, organize, and analyze all applicable data relating to state grants managed by the organization culminating into a grant assessment report that summarized this data. Dillingerrad then developed and facilitated a process for identifying internal and external stakeholders (including, but not limited to potentially eligible applicants) and solicited their engagement and feedback regarding the consolidation of current grants, as well as other possible solutions for streamlining current grants and best practices for future grants resulting in both internal and external facilitation reports and dashboard tools.

Dillingerrad has continued to partner with a large mid-western urban school district under multiple department projects that support students in the district. The primary focus of the work has been to provide support and guidance regarding improvements to the school transportation system utilized by district students. Work has helped to reduce ride times on buses, develop more innovative ways for students to get to school, and reduce overall transportation costs across the district. Additionally, dillingerrad provided technical assistance to their finance and budget teams helping to revise, refine, and develop customized reports in their new digital reporting system.

Dillingerrad partnered with a small ct nonprofit serving in a community hub capacity in support of local area youth, from cradle to career. Dillingerrad helped streamline data collection processes and provided support in the data collection, management and best practices among the different divisions of direct service youth-serving entities, as well as at the overarching managing organization's level.
