Arlington, Va. (PRWEB) September 11, 2017 -- Fors Marsh Group (FMG) named Seri Irazola, Ph.D., as its new director of public policy evaluation. Dr. Irazola joins FMG from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), where she served as the director of the National Institute of Justice’s (NIJ) Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE). In this capacity, she oversaw three research divisions that accounted for all social science research being funded and produced by the DOJ.

At FMG, Dr. Irazola will be responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the Public Policy Evaluation division. Dr. Irazola will also be responsible for further developing FMG’s relationships with existing clients, including the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), the Newseum Institute, the Pew Research Center, and DOJ. Additionally, she will extend FMG’s policy evaluation services into the Department of Defense (DoD) Human Resource Activity (DHRA).

She served as a working group lead to other foundations and government agencies, most recently as a representative on the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Tiered Evidence and Evaluation Policy Working Group, and as a co-chair for a subcommittee on data and statistics on behalf of the Office of Justice Programs’ Science Advisory Board (OJP SAB).
