Reliable Answers for Every Kind of Client
Federal Research Services for Professionals & Individuals — Washington, D.C. & Nationwide
No matter your industry, you’ll receive thoughtful research support, responsive communication, and findings you can trust.
Clients I Support
Nonprofit Organizations
Often reaching out for grants-related research, federal funding sources, or background on a policy area relevant to their mission. In my experience, nonprofits have usually done serious homework before they reach out, my job is to respect that work and fill the remaining gaps.
Law Firms
Bringing questions related to legislative histories, regulatory research, and legal research support. I've worked in a law firm setting myself and served attorneys throughout my career, so I know what this work needs to look like.
Small Businesses
Looking for authoritative background on a topic, regulation, or industry area relevant to their work, often information that lives in databases they don't have access to.
Local Governments
Frequently looking into federal grants and funding opportunities, or trying to track down information their own teams haven't been able to locate. Serving local governments has been part of my work in the federal sphere for years.
Writers & Researchers
Working on projects that require digging into primary sources, historical newspapers, and archival records, or verifying facts against authoritative material before publication.
Individuals
Sometimes the question is personal or independent, no organization behind it, just someone who needs a reliable answer and doesn't know where else to look. Those questions are just as welcome here.
Domestic and International Clients
Because I'm available well beyond a typical nine-to-five, this works especially well for clients in different time zones, including international organizations that need U.S. federal research expertise.
Research Support Without the Overhead
Not every organization needs a full-time research specialist. Maman Research LLC provides ad hoc library and research support for law firms, businesses, associations, and nonprofits, giving you access to experienced research help when you need it without the overhead of maintaining it in-house.
What Every Client Can Expect
Whichever category you fall into, the way I work stays the same:
Authoritative sources
Findings grounded in government publications, academic research, and trusted databases, with honest caveats when a source deserves them.
A transparent process
You’ll know what I searched, where I looked, and why I trusted the sources I used.
Responsive communication
Updates on your schedule, by email or phone, so you’re never left wondering where things stand.
Honest answers
If the information doesn’t exist, or if I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you directly and point you to who is.
