Research
We partner with organizations large and small to measure and improve the impact of their programs. Our research helps partners refine their strategies while strengthening the collective knowledge base.
How We Conduct Research
Our research team specializes in a range of methods, including:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
Rigorously test cause and effect in civic engagement programs.
Quasi-experimental designs
Evaluate impact when true experiments aren’t possible.
Qualitative studies
Understand participant experiences, program processes, and context
Mixed-methods studies
Dive deeper by combining quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Descriptive analyses
Capture how programs are implemented and track big-picture trends across the electoral landscape.
Research reviews
Synthesize findings from existing studies and convey the overall state of the evidence.
We collaborate closely with partners to design studies that meet their strategic goals. Once research is complete, we ensure findings are accessible, actionable, and ready to inform programs across the field.
