Research Partner

When you know what’s happening but not why, if you struggle with prioritization of your next steps, when innovation is lacking, for times when you need help with reporting, if you’re missing perspective, and when you want to toot your own horn…we can assist.

Ways in which Past the Edges can provide research assistance for your organization…

  • Impact papers describe and synthesize the current state of affairs, open questions and controversies, and provide ideas for future research investigations, improved practices, and interventions. They’re written not only for a broad view of a discipline, but are effective tools in providing evidence that current practices are resulting in desired outcomes. Or not. They can be used to summarize the literature and also create a framework from which to understand the progress, problems, and connections between different processes, observations, models, populations, and approaches. Using on-site or virtual data collection, observations, surveys, rubrics, and other investigative tools (qualitative and/or quantitative), Dr. Lopez and the Past the Edges research team can provide impact review papers which can be used to inform future practice, provide evidence of impact for grant applications and funding opportunities, or publish for edification of other practitioners.
