WHAT SETS US APART

Our Methods

We are more than data scientists. Our multidisciplinary team brings quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, and integrative humanities research experience alongside community-led and social organizing expertise. We only use trauma-informed methods and specialize in multi-scalar problem-solving and culturally responsive research. 

Our Principles

Our independence is our strength. Our evidence-based methods and demography practices are designed to respond directly to our partners’ questions and to reflect communities’ experiences and identities on their own terms. We do not accept funding that compromises our work’s integrity.

Our Mission

Our mission is to accelerate community-led grassroots organizations and small nonprofits to access research services that help improve public access to community health services. 100% of our profits are reinvested in local community organizations.
