Our Services
Community-Based Participatory Research & Workshops
We believe the best research happens when stakeholders are active participants. Research questions grow from community needs, wants, and concerns; stakeholders learn to research their own reality, co-design instruments and methods, carry out the research, monitor the process, and collaboratively analyze the findings. We offer community-based participatory research and workshops in design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, using methods such as in-depth interviews, focus groups, case studies, and document and artifact analysis. Our goal is to prepare partners for long-term sustainability.
Overview
Including design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
We believe that the best research is carried out when the stakeholders are active participants in it. Who knows best what the challenges you face and your needs are than you? We are here to support you with our knowledge and to partner with you to most effectively address your needs. Based on this, what does this process involve?
Bottom-up research question formulation collaboratively created between our team and you as stakeholders.
The basis of this research comes from the needs, wants, and concerns of the stakeholders while being involved every step of the way.
What does being involved every step of the way mean?
Stakeholders learning to become to be researchers of your own reality.
Collaboratively designing the research, i.e. co-creating the instruments to determine what you want to find out and what the research process will be, including implementing, monitoring and analysis.
Carrying out the research together.
Monitoring the research and collaboratively doing the analysis.
We offer to do this collaborative research with you and for your organization, government entity or community focused initiative. We also offer trainings in community-based research, to prepare your stakeholders in this methodology. In both cases, whether we do CBPR with you and for you, or only do the trainings, we focus on preparing you for sustainability.
In every service we offer, our core process is always based on collaboratively working with you to co-create the path forward and training your team in collaborative research and analysis. We are not consultants who just come in, solve your problems and then leave.
