Our Clients

Strategic Research Group partners with public agencies, nonprofit organizations, universities, and research institutions across the country to strengthen programs that serve communities. Our clients span federal, state, and local government as well as organizations working to improve health, education, economic opportunity, and public policy.

Federal Government

Federal agencies operate large, complex programs that serve millions of people across the country. Understanding how these programs perform, and how they can be improved, often requires sophisticated data collection, large-scale surveys, and rigorous program evaluation. Strategic Research Group works with federal agencies to design and implement research that informs policy decisions, strengthens program implementation, and ensures that public resources are used effectively. We are also a certified GSA Schedule contractor.

 State/Local Government

As stewards of public funds, state and local governments are responsible for delivering many of the public programs that directly affect people’s daily lives, from education and workforce development to public health, transportation, and environmental protection. These agencies must balance limited resources with the need to deliver effective services and demonstrate measurable results. Strategic Research Group supports these efforts by conducting program evaluations, statewide surveys, policy analyses, and community assessments that help public leaders make informed decisions and strengthen the programs they oversee.
