Let's Work Together!

Our mission as a non-profit research organization is to develop, field test and rigorously evaluate new programs.

Why Partner with SRDC?

We help policy-makers and practitioners identify policies and programs that improve the well-being of all Canadians, with a special concern for the effects on disadvantaged people.

How we raise the standards of evidence

What sets SRDC apart is our history of innovation. Since our founding in 1991, we have been running randomized controlled trials and policy experiments, developed and tested behaviour-based interventions, as well as studying and evaluating social finance initiatives. Applied economics, pay-for-performance, and lab experiments also figure prominently in our portfolio of more than 450 completed projects.

Our projects

Our work is comprised of a variety of capabilities, encompassing a multitude of policy areas and focused on numerous populations. Over the last 30 years, many of our projects have touched on several policy areas and populations using a range of our capabilities.

Partnering with SRDC means uncovering the evidence through:

• Rigorous evaluation of your new or existing programs;
• State-of-the-art research methods within the policy areas or population groups that meet your goals;
• Detailed analytics of what really works.
