We will guide you through the research process, from forming research questions to designing a methodology to deciding what the desired products  will be based on the desired outcomes. We will help you decide the best path based on your organization’s goals and your communities’ needs.

We communicate between you and the institutions that will help make your research possible. This may include governmental organizations, ethical research committees, or other community organizations.

We can help you secure funding for any research you plan to carry out that is in line with your organization’s mission and vision.

We can train you and your colleagues to do research that will be used , and we will tailor workshops to the needs and desired outcomes of your organization and communities.

Organizations that are serving the public benefit from regular program evaluation, and need to contract a third party to do so effectively and ethically. We can be your third party! We can tailor an evaluation plan that suits your budget and organizational needs.

This can include but it not limited to: surveying participants before and after a program, carrying out focus groups, interviews, collecting testimonials, and any other experimental methods in line with ethical standards for conducting research with [system-impacted] communities.
