Our Philosophy:
Meaningful Monitoring
At the Vander Weele Group, our work is guided by a philosophy we call Meaningful Monitoring. Meaningful Monitoring is a mindset, a skill set, and a strategic approach to grants monitoring that asks not only if programs are compliant and meeting objectives, but whether they are meeting them well. It's possible for a program to meet all its legal obligations and still fail to achieve its mission.
