We’re passionate about helping you drive your research mission.

Marie Barnard, PhD

Meet Marie

After building and scaling research programs across universities, securing over $30 million in sponsored programs funding, and leading centers, graduate programs, and interdisciplinary teams, I recognized the need for experienced, strategic support to help organizations turn strong ideas into operational reality. With three decades of experience in research design, program evaluation, team leadership, and operations—and a consulting portfolio that spans both academic and industry settings—I saw how often teams needed just-in-time expertise to get initiatives off the ground. When I met my co-founder, our skill sets snapped into place—in creating Marro we now bring these skills to clients across sectors. We’re proud to offer the kind of support we always wished existed: light-touch, expert-driven, and designed to leave your team stronger than we found it.

Meagen Rosenthal, PhD

Meet Meagen

After co-founding one research center, launching a research institute, publishing more than 100 peer reviewed pieces, and securing more than $11 million in research funding I have faced a multitude of barriers to getting research projects off the ground and completed. In more than 10 years of experience I’ve realized that the bulk of these barriers can be traced back to a lack of research infrastructure planning and support. Marie and I have leveraged our combined expertise to create Marro - the research infrastructure planning and support resource we built the hard way so you don’t have to. We’re honored to have the opportunity to help translate your research vision into infrastructure to drive research that matters.
