EDGE EMORY
The Evidence and Data on Gender and the Environment (EDGE) Research Group is a team of researchers focused on exploring relationships between the environment, gender, and health, with a special focus on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Led by Dr. Bethany Caruso and Dr. Sheela Sinharoy, we use rigorous qualitative and quantitative research methods to develop and validate new measures and indicators and to generate evidence that can be used in research, programs, and policy.
Foodborne Risk Assessment, Interventions, and Market Systems (FRAIMS)
Foodborne diseases cause an estimated 600 million illnesses and 420,000 deaths each year, with the greatest burden occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Urban open-air informal markets are essential for food security, nutrition, and livelihoods, yet there is limited evidence on the One Health risks—the interconnected risks to human, animal, and environmental health—within these markets or how to design interventions that are effective, economically viable, and scalable.
The Foodborne Risk Assessment, Interventions, and Market Systems (FRAIMS) study is a formative implementation science study that generates the evidence needed to design contextually appropriate, economically viable, and scalable One Health interventions for urban open-air informal markets in low- and middle-income countries. Conducted in Cambodia, Kenya, and Mozambique, FRAIMS integrates quantitative exposure assessment, mixed-methods implementation research, and participatory co-design to understand One Health risks, identify contextual and behavioral determinants and market system opportunities, and develop vendor-centered implementation strategies for future evaluation and scale-up.
CARE-Emory Implementation Science Research
For more than 20 years, CARE USA and Emory University – principally within the Rollins School of Public Health – have collaborated across global health and development sectors. The vision of the CARE-Emory Collaboration is to jointly produce high-impact, policy-and programmatically-relevant applied research and learning to address global challenges to human development for transformative impact at scale.
Our Renewed Collaboration
The foundation of our renewed collaboration is a framework structured around six functional domains and reflective of CARE’s key program areas and Emory’s world-class methodological and technical research expertise. Our aim is that this framework will increase the breadth and depth of collaboration between Emory researchers and CARE programs beyond existing relationships and generate grant funding, produce impactful research and learning, and inform global policymakers.

Guidance Documents and Case Studies
To support global teams and peer organizations, the partnership is developing four guidance documents that make implementation science accessible and actionable:
Strengthening Implementation Reporting
Based on the TIDieR-WASH (Template for Intervention Description and Replication for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Checklist, this tool helps teams clearly describe and report how interventions were delivered—ensuring others can understand, replicate, and adapt programs more effectively.
Understanding Program Adaptations
Based on the MADI Framework (Model for Adaptation Design and Impact), this tool helps teams document what adaptations were made, how and why they were made, and how they may influence program outcomes—supporting more intentional and effective implementation.
Applying Process Evaluations in WASH Programs and Beyond
Based on established process evaluation frameworks, this tool provides simple, structured guidance to help teams assess the quality and delivery of interventions—ensuring programs are implemented as intended and adapted to real-world settings.
Facilitating Factor Mapping
Based on systems thinking approaches, this tool guides teams through a structured process to identify and analyze the interactions among factors influencing program implementation. By understanding these dynamics, programs can prioritize actions, adapt strategies, and strengthen implementation across diverse contexts.
