Background Research and Evidence review

Engaging complex questions with an in-depth review of evidence and knowledge

When completing background research, JG staff systematically review and summarize current peer-reviewed and gray literature, explore national evidence-based registries, and review resources from key organizations. Our application of these skills allows us to engage in a broad range of topics, collaborating with clients to uncover new insights and discover ways to move your work forward based on inclusive and rigorous review of existing knowledge and information. 

Examples of background research approaches:

• Literature and policy review
• Evidence review and synthesis
• Analysis of secondary or already collected data
• Key informant interviews to understand relevant questions and priorities
