TransCare+ is passionate about and committed to community-driven and action-oriented research. We consult, review, and help lead research projects dedicated to community capacity building.
Service Areas
Needs Assessment and Evaluation
We engage community members to assess their needs and resources within and across programs and service systems. Conducting user-designed needs assessments, we identify gaps and help folks figure out what’s working and what’s not. We develop evaluation strategies, design tools for data collection, and communicate impact.
Resource Creation
Working collaboratively with communities and constituents, we create captivating and accessible resources and tools, from reports and policy papers, to public commentaries and digital campaigns.
