About Us
Strategic Evaluations, Inc. (SEI) is an evaluation consulting firm located in Durham, North Carolina that specializes in evaluating science education grants and public health initiatives. We primarily evaluate grants funded through three large organizations in the United States: National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). The company provides both custom-built evaluations services, but also offers access to its tools and web-based software on a subscription basis. The subscription-based model is particularly beneficial for project leaders with less resources for external evaluation or for teams that have strong internal capabilities to implement an evaluation and just need tools/instruments that have proven to be successful in documenting progress in similarly funded projects.

PubKeeper is one of our subscription-based tools designed assist project leaders in documenting scientific research publications for their team members/project participants. The system relies on a custom-made query that you build via a user-friendly interface within your account. PubKeeper then utilizes that query to search the PubMed database and retrieve all publications that are associated with the team members within that query.
What does it do - PubKeeper reduces the time it takes you to retrieve and organize project participants’ publication citations by allowing for a saved query that will retrieve citations for more than a hundred program participants in seconds. These citations can then be saved and downloaded directly into formats required for training grant progress reports submitted to the National Institutes of Health.
Who was it designed for - PubKeeper was mainly designed for project leaders who spend increasing time, year-after-year, searching PubMed for citations for each individual past and/or current participant in their training program.
Who else it may help
- Research PIs seeking a more efficient way to search and store pubs for their lab
- Department chairpersons looking to document all citations faculty members have co-published with students enrolled at their institution
- PIs of postdoc training grants (e.g., IRACDA grants) wanting to document all citations postdocs have co-published with students who were mentored in internships at their institution
