ACHIEVING GOALS

Through Training, Research & Evaluation

WHAT WE DO

Our multi-disciplinary consulting team works to select the right approach for each client. We use a variety of methods to ensure a balanced approach that meets funding agency requirements while honoring cultural context and protocols. Many of our projects build on traditional, validated research methods.

EVALUATION

Our work upholds the unique values and protocols of the communities and tribes we work with. We strive to work closely with communities to develop the most appropriate and meaningful evaluation approach.

RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

The AKA team can help develop your research question, methods, data collection, and analysis using a variety of methods.

Part of our work is translating practice into research and research into practice. One of the ways that we do this is through publications in peer reviewed journal articles.
