Unlock your data-liberate practice
Research and evaluation consulting
At BERA, L3C we specialize in providing comprehensive research consulting tailored to the unique needs of institutions and communities. Our consulting services are designed to support organizations in developing and implementing research strategies that are not only scientifically rigorous but also deeply rooted in equity and community engagement. We guide institutions through the process of creating de-colonial and emancipatory research approaches that prioritize the lived experiences of marginalized populations, ensuring that research outcomes are both impactful and socially just.
We also build the capacity of organizations to collect, interpret, and utilize data in ways that are empowering and aligned with their values.
Infrastructure is the name of the game, and so we assist in the design and implementation of data systems that are transparent, accessible, and centered on community needs.
Turning De-colonial and Emancipatory Research Strategies into Action
data-liberate coaching and technical assistance
Our data-liberacy coaching and technical assistance services are designed to help organizations move beyond data collection to effectively interpret and apply research findings, community truths, and lived experiences in ways that are equitable and impactful. BERA supports institutions in collaborating with communities to translate these insights into actionable strategies that drive meaningful, programmatic change.
We emphasize the importance of contextualizing findings within the realities of those they represent, ensuring that the solutions developed are deeply reflective of the voices and experiences of the community. Whether it's developing new programs, crafting responses to RFPs, or shaping policies/strategic initiatives, our approach empowers organizations to create work that aligns with the needs and aspirations of the communities they serve. Through our data-liberacy services, nonprofits and institutions can transform research insights into concrete actions that foster genuine, community-driven change.
