Evidence-Based Solutions Services
Gramish conducts rigorous research, evaluation, and strategic analysis to design effective ideas, programs, and policies that enhance organizational capacity and strengthen community impact. Our work bridges research with real-world application, providing actionable insights that empower leaders, institutions, and communities.
Survey Development & Administration
We design and manage both small- and large-scale surveys for government agencies, private firms, and nonprofit organizations. These surveys capture critical data on education, workforce, health, and community engagement, producing actionable knowledge that informs strategy and decision-making.
Innovative Data Analytics & Decision Support
Advanced data science, statistical modeling, and social science methodologies to analyze complex challenges. We provide evidence-based insights, build organizational capacity, and create practical solutions that improve outcomes across sectors.
Advanced Research Design & Evaluation
State-of-the-art research design, analysis, and reporting methodologies. This includes randomized controlled trials, rapid-cycle evaluations, and mixed-methods studies that measure program and policy effectiveness. Our evaluation work identifies what works, why it works, and how it can be scaled.
Implementation & Policy Research
Our implementation studies assess how well programs are carried out, identify barriers to success, and highlight pathways for improvement. The lessons we uncover help policymakers, practitioners, and funders align resources more effectively and sustain impact.
At its core, Gramish Global is committed to transforming research into strategy, ensuring that knowledge is not only generated but also applied to drive meaningful, measurable change.
Strategic Research, Decision Support, Analysis, and Reporting
Since its founding, Edwards Enterprises has advanced rigorous research and evaluation by combining expertise in study design, data collection, and both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Our work determines program effectiveness, identifies best practices, and generates actionable recommendations that strengthen systems, policies, and organizational processes.
Government agencies, nonprofits, educational institutions, and community stakeholders turn to Edwards Enterprises to evaluate whether to sustain, scale, adjust, or sunset their programs and initiatives. Our evaluations are designed not only to measure outcomes but also to inform real-world decision-making with clarity and precision.
Randomized Controlled Trials
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) remain the gold standard for determining the causal impact of a program or policy. Edwards Enterprises designs and implements RCTs in which participants—such as individuals, schools, or communities—are randomly assigned either to adopt a new intervention or to continue with existing practices. This approach minimizes bias and produces reliable evidence about a program’s true effect.
Conducting RCTs in real-world environments requires technical expertise, creativity, and sensitivity to context. Edwards Enterprises works closely with partners to ensure that trials are implemented effectively while minimizing disruption to daily operations.
In cases where random assignment is not feasible, we apply equally rigorous quasi-experimental methods such as regression discontinuity, propensity score matching, and comparative interrupted time series to ensure that findings remain credible and actionable.
Qualitative Data Collection & Analysis
Not all critical evaluation questions can be answered through numbers alone. Edwards Enterprises integrates extensive qualitative data collection and analysis into most of our studies to capture nuance, lived experience, and context.
Our qualitative methods include:
In-depth interviews
Focus groups
Observations
Document and portfolio reviews
Budget and cost analyses
These approaches help us understand not only whether programs work, but also how and why they work in practice. We examine implementation fidelity, stakeholder perceptions, and barriers to success—insights that are essential for refining and sustaining interventions.
Linking Research to Application Through Implementation Science
Gramish is distinctive in its ability to integrate evaluation with technical assistance. By applying the principles of implementation science, we connect rigorous research with practical strategies for scaling and sustaining programs.
This dual focus allows us to:
Assess the effectiveness of interventions in real-world settings
Identify gaps between design and practice
Provide technical support to help organizations implement policies and programs with fidelity
Collaborate with other research institutions to advance the field of implementation science
Through this integration, we ensure that the evidence we produce directly informs practice and strengthens long-term impact.
Making Results Relevant
Research is designed with end users in mind. We prioritize making findings accessible, relevant, and useful to the decision-makers and stakeholders who rely on them.
Our analyses are structured to address practical questions such as:
What impacts are occurring across subgroups, communities, or sites?
What processes or contextual factors mediate outcomes?
How do results vary across schools, health providers, employers, or other organizational settings?
When we report findings, we go beyond outcomes alone. We provide context about program environments, participant characteristics, and the facilitators or barriers that influence implementation. By doing so, Edwards Enterprises ensures that our research not only answers the original questions but also equips stakeholders with the insights needed to act confidently and strategically.
Strategic Impact Evalutation
At Gramish Global, we recognize that leaders in education, health, workforce, and related sectors require clear, evidence-based insights to maximize the effectiveness of their programs. Funders, implementers, and developers alike need to know not only what works, but also for whom and under what conditions. Our evaluation practice delivers precisely that clarity—empowering organizations to make confident decisions and drive measurable change.
Central to our methodology is the use of rapid-cycle evaluations, which provide timely and actionable feedback while programs are underway. This approach is grounded in the principles of iterative design and continuous improvement. By strategically testing components, rapid-cycle studies reveal which program elements produce the strongest outcomes. Over time, these insights ensure that interventions are not only well-designed but also optimized for scalability and long-term success.
Our research and development framework moves through four integrated phases: development, optimization, evaluation, and scale-up. Each stage is conducted in close collaboration with practitioners and stakeholders, ensuring that the evaluation design is practical, rigorous, and aligned with organizational goals. This partnership model guarantees that evidence is not abstract, but directly applicable to decision-making and implementation.
Gramish Global employs a suite of innovative and efficient experimental methods, including A/B testing, factorial designs, and sequential multiple assignment randomized trials (SMARTs). These approaches allow us to balance methodological rigor with real-world feasibility, producing results that are both scientifically valid and operationally relevant.
Equally important is our commitment to reliable and context-sensitive measurement. We design evaluation metrics that are precise, unobtrusive, and aligned with program objectives. Whenever possible, we leverage existing data sources to minimize burden, while also developing novel tools—including those that harness big data analytics from digital platforms. This ensures that our insights are robust, tailored, and immediately actionable.
At its core, Gramish Global’s evaluation philosophy is about transformation. We do more than measure outcomes—we identify pathways for scaling success, aligning strategy with evidence, and ensuring that every investment in education, health, and workforce innovation yields its highest possible impact.
