About Annalisa
Annalisa Mastri designs and conducts experimental and nonexperimental evaluations of employment and family support interventions.

In addition, she uses a systematic technical assistance approach to modernize and improve service delivery in workforce development and cash assistance programs in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and elsewhere. The goal of the technical assistance is to use research evidence and methods to improve outcomes for individuals and families and prepare human service programs for rigorous evaluation.
