As a sociologist, with over 12 years of experience in program evaluation and a strong background in mixed research methods and quantitative data analyses, Dr. Ramona Stone leads the evaluation efforts for the IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program in Kentucky. Dr. Stone has been involved in several state level program evaluations, such as Kentucky Welfare Reform, the Community Collaboration for Children, Kentucky’s Public Advocacy’s Social Worker Program, Clarksdale HOPE VI, and in the evaluation of several other smaller programs that provided a variety of human and social services to different segments of vulnerable populations in urban and rural areas across Kentucky. In addition to evaluating our program, Dr. Stone is currently serving as a Director of Evaluation for several research centers at the University of Kentucky.
