Applied Research & Data Analysis

To ensure programs and services are accessible, equitable, and effective, health and human services organizations like yours must research and analyze multitudes of existing and new data—then meaningfully apply it to operations. You may struggle with the scientific approach and impartiality needed to investigate how policies, programs, and operational performance impact people, communities, and systems.

You may not even be aware of data-driven opportunities for improvement that currently exist in your practice.

As a part of UMass Chan Medical School, we offer clients access to numerous world-class capabilities, tools, and expertise across several academic and clinical departments. Our in-house Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews every study to affirm the soundness, ethics, and compliance of our studies. We offer a diversity of perspectives and expertise—clinical, policy, financial, operational, and methodological—with the deep context needed to understand the problem you want to solve, identify the right questions to ask, determine optimal research methods, and translate data into evidence-based solutions.
