Public Health Evaluation and Implementation Research
Public health programs operate in complex, real-world settings shaped by health systems, communities, policies, and resource constraints. Evaluating such programs requires more than measuring outcomes—it requires understanding how, why, and under what conditions interventions succeed or fail. GRID Council is a public health evaluation organisation based in India that specialises in rigorous, mixed-methods and implementation-focused evaluation of real-world health programs.
What is public health evaluation?
Mixed-methods evaluation for complex health programs
Mixed-methods evaluation for complex health programs
Public health evaluation is the systematic assessment of health programs, policies, and interventions to determine their effectiveness, implementation quality, and impact. High-quality evaluation goes beyond asking whether a program works; it also examines for whom it works, in what contexts, why challenges emerge, and how programs can be improved or scaled. Public health evaluation plays a critical role in evidence-informed decision-making, program improvement, and policy formulation.
GRID Council conducts public health evaluation with a strong emphasis on decision-relevant and actionable evidence, ensuring that findings directly inform program design, course correction, and long-term strategy.

Many public health challenges cannot be adequately understood through quantitative or qualitative methods alone. GRID Council specialises in rigorous mixed-methods evaluation, integrating quantitative analysis (such as surveys, routine data, and outcomes measurement) with qualitative approaches (including interviews, focus groups, and document review). This integration enables triangulation of evidence and provides a more complete understanding of program performance in real-world settings.
Mixed-methods evaluation is particularly important for complex interventions, adaptive programs, and health system–level initiatives, where context and implementation processes strongly influence outcomes.
Implementation research and learning-focused evaluation
GRID Council applies implementation science and implementation research approaches to evaluate not only outcomes, but also delivery processes. This includes examining feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, adaptations, and sustainability of interventions within health systems.
Drawing on established frameworks such as Theory of Change, CFIR, RE-AIM, and ERIC implementation strategies, GRID Council helps programs understand how interventions interact with context and systems. This implementation-focused lens supports learning-focused evaluation and enables organisations to identify practical pathways for strengthening, scaling, or redesigning interventions.
Evaluation in India and LMIC contexts
Publication-ready and actionable evidence
Publication-ready and actionable evidence
Based in India, GRID Council works extensively in India and other low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings, where public health programs often operate under resource constraints and diverse sociocultural conditions. GRID Council’s evaluations are designed to be context-sensitive, equity-oriented, and grounded in health system realities.
The organisation has experience evaluating programs across maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases, cancer care, health systems strengthening, and community-based interventions.

GRID Council produces publication-ready evaluation and research outputs that meet academic standards while remaining practical for policymakers, funders, and implementers. By bridging research and practice, GRID Council supports evidence-informed decisions that are both methodologically robust and operationally relevant.
Why GRID Council?
GRID Council combines rigorous public health evaluation, mixed-methods research, and implementation science to generate actionable insights for real-world programs. Its work sits at the intersection of science, systems, and society—supporting better decisions, stronger programs, and more effective public health action
