Research Consulting to Nonprofits

As a consultant, I provide nonprofit and mission-driven organizations with high-level support across the full research lifecycle.

Consulting style: Short & Intense

Rather than long-term, open-ended contracts, I specialize in short, intensive consulting sprints. For a short period of time (typically a few days to a couple of weeks), I work as an extension of your team to help resolve a specific research-related challenge.

Sprint Menu

Here is a non-exhaustive list of services I can offer, with very rough price range and turnaround:
Service Deliverable Turnaround Indicative Price Range
Research design sprint Study design plan (3-5 pages) + 1-hour consultation to align on methodology, sample size, and ethical considerations 3-5 days 2000-3500€
Power & Feasibility Analysis 2-4 page power analysis report with required sample size, feasibility assessment, and recommendations 2-3 days 1200-2500€
Research Methodology Audit 2-4 page methodology evaluation with strengths, weaknesses, risks, and actionable fixes 3-5 days 1500-3000€
Rapid Data/Statistical Analysis 3-5 page analysis report with cleaned data, statistical insights, and visualizations (2-3 charts/graphs) 4-7 days 2500-4000€
Rapid evidence review 5-12 page synthesis of existing research, key gaps, and actionable recommendations 5-7 days 2000-4000€

Comic-based communication 1 or several comic pages synthesizing a report or explaining research in an engaging and non-technical way +2-7 days +500-3000€

And here are a few pages extracted from my comic crish, to give you an idea of what a few pages of comic-based communication could look like, without color (pages 1 to 4) and with color (pages 5 to 8):

Comic Page 1 - randomness
Comic Page 2 - Benford's law
Comic Page 3 - intuition behind Benford's law 1
Comic Page 4 - intuition behind Benford's law 2
Comic Page 5 - extract of crish
Comic Page 6 - extract of crish
Comic Page 7 - extract of crish

Why work with me?

Because I offer a rare combination of deep technical expertise and communicative clarity and appeal.

In addition to being a research methods expert with a PhD in Biostatistics and over a decade of cross-disciplinary experience providing research advice for mission-driven organizations (e.g. UNICEF, McKnight Foundation, Statistics For Sustainable Development, Saint Joseph Hospital’s Clinical Research Center, James Cook University, NGOs and Research Organizations in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Ethiopia, Madagascar), I am also a skilled analytic philosopher who will ensure your methodology is logically rock solid, and a comic artist and science communicator who will produce deliverables that are donor- or stakeholder-ready, jargon-free, and visually compelling.

Let's have a chat

If you have a project that requires a burst of technical rigor and clear communication, let's discuss it. I am based in Madrid, but serving NGOs, foundations and researchers worldwide. And I am fluent in English, French and Spanish.
