Research for Change

Quintessential Research Group Inc.

QRG consulting is an environmental, health, social and economic research consulting practice comprised of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and practitioners. 

We understand that Indigenous Nations and organizations have a deep connection to the land that is reflected in unique cultural practices and values. One of
our core priorities is to ensure that the standards and values of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are upheld and implemented throughout our work.  

Community-Based Research
Our work is grounded in culturally relevant and gendered responses to health and socio-economic issues using gender-based analysis (GBA+) at the core of our practices.

​Our work is community-specific and reflects the needs and usability of the programs and services for Indigenous peoples by gender and age. 

We specialize in conducting research and analysis for Indigenous communities and organizations and all levels of government, academic and non-profit organizations. 
​
Social Policy and Governance
QRG has earned a reputation for producing high quality gender-based research reports that are reflective of the socio-economic, health and environmental concerns of Indigenous peoples at the community level while supporting local initiatives that have high impacts on social policy outcomes.
