 I'm a grant writer for Catholic Charities and what I do is tell stories. I can tell a really good compelling story about our clients and our programs. But what I really need to make the application competitive is the research that backs and supports the interventions that we're using to help the people, to help our clients. So in our work we use data for everything, it drives what we do. When we're thinking about research I think it's really important for all of our program managers to have an understanding of what's out there and what is the cutting edge of information and that really just makes our programs all the stronger. Obviously we go through the standard search engines on the internet and quite often hit a dead end. A lot of times you'll go to find something and then you might find the title of an article but then you don't have access to actually to get in and see what the work is. There's a lot of times where you see something that looks fantastic from the abstract. You read the abstract and it's like this is it. This is going to solve my problems and then you go to click on it and you don't have access to it. Being a non-profit we're limited in funding and things that we can do just by and try. So many non-profits in the community have done so much good work. Some are small, some are large, but the smaller ones in particular, the grass roots and the pigeons, they'll never have the money to pay for the research and they will always need research. This research connects to people in need and I really think there's an opportunity here with the public access to make people more aware of the great research that's being done and how not only is that important from an information standpoint but how does that affect people who really need that to better their lives. The big picture is non-for-profits, large and small, should be using your work, your research to help make informed decisions.
