How do we move from practice to research?
Much of the conversation around research and practice is one-directional - that is, we focus on moving information from research to practice. These organizations are leading the way in the opposite direction - elevating ideas and knowledge based in practice to inform and improve the links between research and practice. Listen here and learn more about our panelists below.
Project Evident was launched out of a commitment to the building and use of evidence and a deep dissatisfaction with the current approach. Our team is made up of leaders who left positions in philanthropy, impact investing, technology, policy, analytics, entrepreneurship, and nonprofit management with a shared goal of improving the ecosystem for evidence. Project Evident offers a comprehensive platform of tools and resources, direct services, and talent solutions that help practitioners and funders answer these questions and more—improving how they measure, evaluate, and report results, while strengthening their alignment with one another. Gabriel Rhoades and Bi Vuong represent Project Evident on this panel.
