Researcher conducting a fieldwork interview with a community member

Innovative, community-driven, and useful research and evaluation.

Integrated Methods is an independent research and evaluation practice based in South Florida, with active partnerships across the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

People experience health and social systems differently. We help organizations understand those experiences, examine how systems respond, and turn the resulting evidence into stronger programs, defensible funding decisions, and results they can stand behind.

The Framework Behind Our Work: people navigate complex systems, community systems respond in layers, and Integrated Methods helps partners understand and translate evidence into stronger programs, justified funding, and lasting community impact.

Ways to Work Together

We build each partnership around the question being asked, the people affected, and the decisions the evidence needs to support.

Evaluation Partnerships

Embedded evaluation, learning, and data support across programs, initiatives, and grant portfolios.

Research & Evaluation Design

Logic models, mixed-methods studies, evaluation plans, data collection, analysis, and reporting.

Academic & Grant Collaboration

Co-investigator and research roles, collaborative scholarship, and methodological support for funded research.

Experience Across Sectors

We work across institutional and community settings, adapting each partnership to the people, systems, and decisions involved.

Four connected scenes depict coordinated health systems, community coalitions, university research teams, and nonprofit program implementation.

Evidence should help people make better decisions.

Whether you are designing a new initiative, strengthening an existing program, or trying to understand what is happening across a complex system, we can help determine what evidence would be most useful.
