Mímir Research is a mixed-methods research consultancy serving healthcare and human services organizations. We help our clients understand what their data shows but cannot explain — connecting quantitative patterns to the structural and experiential realities that produce them.
Our work draws on the full range of research methods: administrative data analysis, interviews, ethnographic observation, and survey research. We bring a structural, humanistic lens to problems that demand more than measurement.
What We Do
Mixed-Methods Program Evaluation
Healthcare and human services organizations invest substantially in programs whose effects are difficult to see clearly from the inside. We conduct evaluations that go beyond outcome measurement to explain the mechanisms, conditions, and human dynamics that determine whether a program works — and for whom.
Organizational Diagnostics
Operational metrics tell you where performance is falling short. They rarely tell you why. We use interviews, ethnographic observation, and where relevant administrative data to surface the structural and cultural dynamics that produce the patterns your dashboards reveal — and the ones they miss entirely.
Implementation & Uptake Research
When evidence-based practices, new technologies, or organizational initiatives are not being adopted as intended, the reasons are almost never simple. We investigate the structural, cultural, and experiential barriers that stand between design and practice.
If your organization is facing questions that data alone hasn't answered, we would like to hear from you.
