Resources: How Research Strengthens Your Work
Red Hawk Research specializes in conducting research to answer questions about your community and your organization. In today’s hi-tech world, we have superb tools that facilitate access to and analysis of a wide array of detailed data. Unfortunately, it is often too costly for a lone organization to invest in the technology and resources needed to efficiently use data in effective ways. RHR's President, Lisa Friel, is experienced in researching issues for academic, government, nonprofit, and professional audiences on a variety of topics.
Is your organization concerned with community and economic development? RHR can help you define an issue and search for solutions with research on policy, housing, lending, civil rights, employment, health care, social services, and more.
Are you a non-profit organization competing for scarce grants? RHR's expert research services can bolster a grant application by demonstrating your expertise, organizational performance, and community need.
Are you a small company competing for a government RFP? Solid research and a thorough understanding of how federal, state and local laws, regulations and agencies relate to your issue will give your proposal a competitive edge.
Do you feel like you collect extensive information on your clients but don't use all of it to in managing operations? RHR can help you create efficiencies to simplify using data you already have and easily expand the data you collect.
More and more, grant funding institutions and all levels of government rely on data analyses to guide decision making.
