Research

Action research engages stakeholders in cycles of reflection and action to solve problems collaboratively, generate real-time insights, and adapt solutions to evolving social challenges and contexts.

Applied research bridges theory and practice by providing evidence-based solutions to real-world social, environmental, and economic challenges, supporting effective innovation and policy development.

Basic research expands fundamental knowledge without immediate application, laying the groundwork for breakthroughs in health, technology, and social innovation through curiosity-driven inquiry.

Experimental research rigorously tests cause-and-effect relationships, enabling evidence-based decisions in social innovation and development through controlled trials and randomized assignments.

Longitudinal research tracks the same subjects over time to reveal changes, causal relationships, and sustained impacts, crucial for understanding social, health, and economic outcomes and improving social innovation.

Mixed-methods research combines quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide comprehensive insights, enhancing evidence credibility and actionable outcomes in social innovation and development.

Non-experimental research offers insights into real-world relationships and patterns without manipulating variables, supporting social innovation and informing policy where experiments are not feasible.

Participatory Action Research centers communities as co-creators of knowledge, promoting equity and actionable solutions through collaborative inquiry and empowerment, enhancing social innovation and legitimacy.

Qualitative research offers deep insights into experiences and social dynamics, complementing quantitative data to inform more effective and culturally grounded social innovation and decision-making.

Quantitative research provides measurable evidence to explain relationships, test hypotheses, and assess impact, supporting informed decisions and scalable social innovation solutions.
