Summary. Rural community service organizations lack evidence about their outcomes, limiting policy decisions for rural populations. This paper describes implementing an embedded researcher model at an Australian family and youth services organization to build research capacity and establish monitoring, evaluation, and learning practices. The embedded researcher, positioned on-site and jointly funded by the service organization and a university, works with staff to develop a place-based framework for generating local evidence and improving service outcomes.
