Research & Analysis »
Our organization grew out of innovative interdisciplinary research projects that hinged on translating scientific evidence into compelling narratives that inspire action. We continue to build on this model and believe in the power that a well told story, informed by evidence, has on changing real world outcomes. We have produced a range of research products based on compelling narratives and work with clients and communities around the world who would like to do the same.
Our research and analysis services include:
- research proposal development and writing
- creating a visual identity for research projects
- developing tool kits that extend the impact of findings
- writing reports (both content and design)
- facilitating interdisciplinary research teams to maximize impact
- copyediting original research
- translating research into a set of actionable items
- evidence-based message design
