Research Development & Publication Consulting
Helping maternal, child, and family health organizations turn the data they already have into reports and publications that strengthen their funding case
I help you assess your existing information, identify meaningful research questions, and translate findings into clear reports, presentations, and journal articles. The goal: greater visibility, a stronger case for funding, and evidence others can learn from.
Not sure whether what you have is enough? Start with a free 15-minute conversation.
You May Already Have a Starting Point
Your organization collects information every day: participant feedback, surveys, program outcomes, service records, and observations from those doing the work. But knowing how to use that information takes time and expertise.
I help you assess what you have, identify meaningful questions, and develop a practical plan to share what can be learned. Depending on your goals and materials, that may lead to a program report, research brief, conference presentation, or journal article.
You don’t need a finished study or manuscript to begin.
Research Development & Publication Services
Data & Project Assessment
Start here. A review of your data, materials, and goals. You receive clear options for what your information can support, what it would take, and a proposed scope and cost estimate.
Data Analysis & Research Development
Focused research questions, a practical plan, and analysis of your existing data, with a specialist brought in for advanced statistics when needed.
Ethics Review Guidance
If your project needs ethics review, I will help you through it, from determining what’s required to preparing the submission.
Reports, Briefs & Presentations
Clear reports, research briefs, and presentations that communicate your findings to funders, partners, practitioners, and communities.
Manuscript Development & Publication
Turn findings into a well-structured journal article, with support for the literature review, writing, journal selection, submission, and peer review.
Planning a grant application? I can provide a scope and budget so this work can be included in your proposal.
From Existing Information to a Clear Plan
1. Understand your goals. We start with what you want to communicate, who you want to reach, and how the finished work will support your organization.
2. Assess your materials. We review your data and documents to see what they can support, and whether the project needs specialist analysis or ethics review.
3. Define the project. You receive a proposed scope, deliverables, timeline, and fee before any further work begins. Data access, confidentiality, and appropriate safeguards are addressed at this stage.
4. Develop and share the work. I carry out the agreed analysis, writing, and publication steps, keeping the work aligned with your goals.
Some projects begin with a report or research brief, with journal publication explored when the data, methods, and topic support it.
Help More People Learn from Your Work
Knowledge built in community programs often stays within the organization. Sharing it helps others understand the needs you address, learn from your experience, and make better decisions.
Not every study needs to be groundbreaking to matter. In nonprofits and community programs, valuable evidence often already exists: a midwife’s documentation of a community birth program, a doula’s observation of a care gap, and a program director’s outcome data. These are the building blocks of evidence that guide practice and policy.
Funders want to see what your work achieves. A clear report or published article gives you something concrete to cite.
About
I’m Christiana Rebelle, PhD, MBA, a researcher, editor, and consultant who helps organizations turn their knowledge into evidence others can use. My research examined prenatal physical activity, provider counseling, and health disparities among underserved families.
As Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health, I see what makes research publishable and what holds it back.
I also know the organizational side. I founded and ran a mission-driven business supporting maternal health for 14 years, developed a grant-funded program for children with autism, and modernized the operations of a journal with a 40-year history. I understand the time, budget, and staffing constraints community organizations work within.
With a background in communication, business, and performance psychology, I help clients define achievable goals and communicate findings in ways that funders, partners, and communities can understand and use. I’m based in Kāneʻohe, Hawaiʻi, and work with organizations in Hawaiʻi and beyond.
