Practical Research Solutions

Tali Klima, Ph.D.

I am an applied health services researcher with a passion for improving access and quality of care for children and families.  As a consultant, I can help your team ask the right questions and answer them scientifically to make evidence-based decisions that will impact healthcare policy and practice.  I specialize in designing studies or evaluations and managing them to completion, including data collection, analysis, and publication. 

Having worked with Tali since 2017 across three different projects supported by our Foundation, I cannot recommend Tali and her work enough! Tali is extremely well-organized, thoughtful, analytical, conscientious, and solution-oriented. She brings deep content expertise in health services, children and family health, and research methodologies which will strengthen any project. Tali asks great questions, communicates clearly, concisely, and directly, and has a great sense of humor! Tali's judgment and experience will strengthen any project.

I highly recommend Tali for any research or evaluation work – whether as a collaborator/consultant or to take on the work herself. She’s the ideal combination of a rigorous researcher with a strong methods background and a practical evaluator who can make adjustments to design, data collection and analysis when real-world challenges arise.

I have found Tali to be a remarkable resource – she is deeply knowledgeable about survey design and experienced in measurement and psychometrics. Moreover, she is creative in thinking about how to approach challenging evaluations. Tali is a delightful person to work with. She is highly responsive and quick to deliver feedback, appreciative of the viewpoints of others, and adept at moving projects forward. I highly recommend working with Tali!
