BOSR has been instrumental in our project's success.”

“Kim and her team are great to work with. They are responsive and willing to be part of brainstorming discussions which is very helpful. They help from ideation to collection, analysis and final reports. They have adapted their reporting templates to serve our funder’s requests/templates (i.e., USDA) for easier reporting. It really feels like a collaborative project with them; they are willing and able to learn about the project so they can better serve our needs.”
