SERVICES

RISE is qualified to meet your small- or large-scale research needs. We have experience designing quasi-experimental studies with government accountability standards, and we are ready to collaborate on funding proposals. We hold the necessary certificates for conducting human participant research, and we have experience guiding projects through the IRB approval process. Our prior research projects have been disseminated through national and international conference presentations and through peer-reviewed publications.

We conduct evaluation for organizations that are ready to embark on an internal reflection process. We have worked with school-based and out-of-school time programs, NGOs, mental health providers, state and local arts agencies, and universities to evaluate and communicate their impact. Our evaluation summaries can be used as a reflexive guide for improvement and to remain accountable to members of your community. We also offer evaluation and assessment of equity, diversity, accessibility, inclusion and belonging (EDAIB) efforts at the systemic and policy levels. Our EDAIB work includes power analyses of organizational policy, practice and programs, and we offer a comprehensive EDAIB organizational assessment tool. 

For clients wanting to develop theories of liberation, logic models, or theories of systemic change, we have experience developing these essential narratives. We recommend this as a first step before embarking on any evaluation or research project. We work with your community through a series of workshops at your site to co-create these materials.
