Research that takes equity as the starting point.
We are a woman-owned public health firm helping mission-driven organizations design studies, evaluate programs, and listen to the communities they serve.
Built for organizations doing the work.
Needs &
Asset Assessments
Mixed-methods assessments that surface what a community needs and what it already has, so resources go where they matter.
Program Evaluation
We help you understand whether your programs are working and how to make them better, with evaluations designed to satisfy funders and inform real decisions.
Community-Based Participatory Research
Research done with communities rather than on them, building partnerships that share power over the questions and the findings.
Applied Health Research
Study design, instrument development, and analysis for organizations that need credible evidence to guide programs and policy.
Why HERE
Three researchers. Fifteen years. One standard.
HERE Consulting was founded by three public health doctors who met during their PhD program and never stopped working together. That history shows up in how we work: closely, rigorously, and with people at the center.
Equity is the method, not the add-on
We design every study so the communities being studied have a real voice in the questions, the process, and the findings.
Rigor you can defend
Doctoral-level training in study design, measurement, and evaluation grounds everything we deliver to funders and boards.
Small firm, senior hands
You work directly with the principals. No hand-offs to junior staff, no layers between you and the people doing the work.
“We met during our doctoral program. Years later, we built the firm we wished we could have hired.”
— The founders of HERE Consulting
