Request Research Assistance from HARC Experts

Find an Expert Initiative

Do you need advice on a research topic, question, or method? Get connected with a HARC researcher or evaluator with the expertise that you need.

The initiative helps match content or methodological experts with others in the network who need and request specific types of assistance. This assistance may range from a brief phone or email conversation to a longer-term practice-research partnership.

Our Experts Can:

• Help you explore how to refine your research questions and design a study
• Share expertise on a specific home visiting outcome area (examples are maternal health or child cognitive development or economic well-being)
• Provide guidance on specific research designs or methods (examples are qualitative methods or linking home visiting data with other data sources)
• Share experiences using specific research tools or procedures
• Help explore how your existing data might be used to address research questions of interest

Engagements may be brief or lead to fruitful practice-research partnerships.
