Through a collaborative design process, we will support you in identifying community priorities and designing a project to achieve your desired impact. We will guide you through a process of creating a clearly articulated list of key questions, developing a timeline, selecting appropriate hardware, and making a project plan with roles, budget, stakeholders and risk mitigation strategies.

We will act as project partners, ensuring successful project execution, managing resources and ensuring progress at each stage. Engaging stakeholders will be at the center of this work, always maintaining an open line of communication and transparency between our team and yours.

Building capacity within an organization is extremely important for long-term project sustainability. We offer workshops and training ranging from air pollution science and data analysis to project management and human-centered design. This can include running events open to the public, and creating educational experiences for learners of all ages.

Our team has over 25 years of combined air pollution research and atmospheric science experience, which we will leverage to help design an air monitoring sensor network to answer key project questions. This includes conducting in-depth research about the area of interest, and collaborating with stakeholders to create community engagement opportunities.

For projects with short-term data collection timelines, we offer access to our suite of low-cost air monitors for a small fraction of the purchase price. This is ideal for proof-of-concept initiatives or projects with time-sensitive needs.

We will support your team in collecting the right data to answer key project questions, and ensuring that it is well documented and organized for future data analysis steps and quality assurance requirements. This includes installing sensors, periodically monitoring their performance, downloading and storing data, and conducting preliminary data analysis to ensure quality and usability.

In order to generate insights and answer key questions, we will conduct in-depth data analysis and generate relevant statistics and figures. Figures and insight statements will be collaboratively designed with stakeholders to ensure their clarity, understanding and accessibility for stakeholders.

Using figures and insights from your network’s data, we will create artifacts such as one-pagers, presentations, posters, web stories, reports, etc. to best serve your community's goals. These artifacts will undergo several rounds of feedback with key stakeholders and will be translated to other languages as needed.

As our partners move to leverage data artifacts, we offer support to ensure the intended impact is achieved. This includes collaboratively designing events such as Data Walks and public workshops to disseminate data insights and present project results to the public, as well as serving as subject-matter experts at community meetings and throughout relevant legislative processes.

As a project reaches its conclusion, it is important to center long-term sustainability and create a plan to ensure continued value creation. We will steward this effort through stakeholder engagement and extensive documentation for network upkeep and future data analysis, packaging and dissemination efforts.
