» Types of Research
VIP Research and Evaluation conducts research partnering with both for- and non-profit organizations. We have conducted numerous market research and social science research projects. We are a full-service research and evaluation firm that collaborates closely with our clients throughout the entire research process. We will formulate the research design to reflect our clients’ needs, develop the data collection instruments, collect and analyze the data, and report the findings. Included in our reporting are implications and recommendations, or next steps, an important component of the research process that provides guidance on how to make the information meaningful and actionable.
» Research Methods
We are highly adept at both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Much of our research requires the triangulation of both methodologies in order to strengthen our research conclusions.
» Analytics
Our approach to data analyses is to glean everything we can from the data that has just been collected. After properly cleaning and editing the data as necessary, we then conduct descriptive statistics (frequencies, crosstabulation) to get a sense of the general story.
» Other Services
The VIP Research and Evaluation staff has been asked to write numerous grants and/or proposals over the years. Sometimes clients come to us to write an entire grant fr funding they are seeking. Other times, clients will perform the bulk of the writing but ask us to write an evaluation or assessment component for their grant. Either way, we provide our expertise in crafting a solid evaluation/assessment plan that will improve our client’s chances that they will receive much needed funding.
