Services

Strong evidence for decisions that matter.

MCRC Health helps health and social-service organizations define the right question, choose defensible methods, and turn findings into practical next steps.

Core services

Support matched to the decision—not a fixed package.

Engage MCRC Health for a focused piece of work or for continuity from early design through analysis, reporting, and implementation.

Turn an important problem into a feasible, defensible study with clear questions, measures, procedures, governance, and analysis plans.

  • Research questions, protocols, measures, and sampling
  • Ethics and data-collection materials
  • Implementation and feasibility study design
Explore research design
02

Program and service evaluation

Understand what is working, for whom, and why.

Evaluate implementation, experience, reach, outcomes, and opportunities to improve or scale a program.

  • Logic models and evaluation frameworks
  • Process, outcome, and implementation evaluation
  • Performance measures and funder-ready reporting

How engagements work

A clear path from question to next step.

Clarify

Define the decision, audience, setting, constraints, and what useful evidence would look like.

Scope

Agree on methods, roles, deliverables, timing, governance, and a proportionate level of effort.

Deliver

Complete the work transparently, with regular communication and attention to emerging context.

Put findings to work

Translate results into practical recommendations, communication products, and implementation priorities.

Questions

What organizations usually ask first.

What does a research and evaluation consultant do?

A research and evaluation consultant helps an organization define answerable questions, select appropriate methods, collect or analyze data, interpret findings, and communicate practical recommendations.

Who does MCRC Health work with?

MCRC Health works with health systems, governments, community and social-service organizations, research teams, clinicians, and digital health developers internationally.

Can you help before a project is fully scoped?

Yes. We can begin with a focused scoping phase to clarify the decision, questions, methods, deliverables, timeline, and level of effort before a larger engagement.

How much does a research or evaluation project cost?

Cost depends on the question, methods, sample, available data, deliverables, and timeline. We scope the smallest defensible approach and provide a clear proposal before work begins.

Can you support only one part of a project?

Yes. Support can be limited to study design, measurement, analysis, facilitation, reporting, training, or another defined component when that is the most useful role.

Start with the decision you need to make.

Share the question, setting, and desired timeline—even if the scope is still taking shape.
