Price takes a lead role in site selection, development, field research, and technical assistance for many of MDRC’s large-scale studies of adolescents and their academic progress. She has been the senior site specialist in both the Career Academies and the Project Transition evaluations. For Career Academies, she initiated the study in three of the 10 sites, monitoring the implementation of research activities and developing contractual arrangements with participating sites. For Project Transition, she was the lead site contact and managed the field research in one of the project’s two sites. Price was in charge of site development and technical assistance in a number of large-scale projects — notably, for the New Chance demonstration, JOBSTART, Florida’s Project Independence, and Parents' Fair Share — studying employment, training, and welfare reform. She is currently active in the start-up of a new MDRC initiative, the two-generation study phase of the Enhanced Services for the Hard-to-Employ demonstration. Prior to joining MDRC, Price evaluated education projects for the New Haven Foundation and the Sachem Foundation. A former teacher, she received a bachelor’s degree from Mount Holyoke College and a master’s degree in research, measurement, and evaluation in education and behavioral sciences from Southern Connecticut State University.
