Research for Social Change
Center for Excellence in Support Coordination
NOIRE’s Research Center for Excellence in Support Coordination (RCSC) represents a specialized research and development component exclusively focused on support coordination as a distinct service model separate from case management. RCSC is dedicated to advancing theoretical foundations, empirical understanding, and practical implementation of support coordination as a transformative intervention for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and a primary leverage point for transformational change in human service delivery systems.
Center for Research on Human Centered Organizational Development
Center for Research on Human Centered Organizational Development
The Research Center for Human-Centered Organizational Development challenges the status quo in human service organizations through innovative, inclusive research and practical solutions. We advance the evidence-based central thesis that bureaucratic organizational forms are fundamentally incompatible with human service delivery and must be replaced with systems-age alternatives that honor human dignity, enable authentic relationships, and facilitate person-centered practice. We believe that rigorous, compassionate research contributes to building more inclusive social systems and organizations grounded in the inherent worth and value of every human being.
Center for Research on Systems Thinking
Center for Research on Systems Thinking
The Research Center on Systems Thinking advances systems thinking as the essential framework for understanding, designing, and leading human service organizations to enable person-centered, adaptive, and effective service delivery. Grounded in general systems theory, complexity science, and collective impact principles, the Center positions NOIRE at the vanguard of the movement to transition human service systems from machine-age bureaucratic models to systems-age organizational forms that honor complexity, enable emergence, and facilitate authentic adaptation.
