Our Services
Our team can help you with a range of different services. Get in touch to find out more.
Some examples of services we offer:
Research design: Do you need to think through how to best conduct your research? Our team can help you think about the research questions, best methods to use, and how much you might end up spending on different research approaches.
Strategic planning: Often executing a larger strategic vision involves doing some upfront knowledge gathering to make sure you’re providing a service that’s needed, or to refine how well your current programs are working. Our team does the work behind the scenes to inform your strategy, from talking to program participants, conducting landscape scans and literature reviews to fielding a survey. Our research will help make sure you attain your strategic goals.
Landscape assessments: Often you need to understand the landscape your work fits into. Our team can help do the research to make sure you understand best practices, competitors, and the niche your program fits within.
Developing your theory of change: Many programs have an implicit theory of change, but have not thought about how to make explicit their intended outcomes, and the intermediate steps they expect program participants to attain along the way. Our teams are expert at helping you map out your theory of change so you can then measure whether your program is getting participants to your intended outcomes.
Participant experiences: Digging in to understand how participants and communities experience your programs can help you to refine and improve how your program operates. Our team helps you to do the work alongside impacted community members.
Program evaluation: Is your program making the difference you intended it to make? Are you reaching the communities you hoped to serve? Can you make improvements to your program model? Our team can help you to design and execute program evaluations of many different kinds to meet the stage your program is in and the budget and schedule you have to work with. These include both qualitative and quantitative studies, from process evaluations to randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designed impact studies.

Center for Guaranteed Income Research Qualitative Analysis
IPP is working with the Center for Guaranteed Income Research at the University of Pennsylvania to support their guaranteed income research.
IPP partnered with Arts for Social Cohesion to develop a program theory of change and then elicit feedback from participants in their program “In Our Words.” After hearing from program participants the importance of the creative process in building social connections, program designers adjusted the program design to emphasize workshop activities instead of the prior focus on the finished poetry or music.
