Take advantage of our expertise in study design, questionnaire design, sample design, sampling, survey development & testing, survey methodology, qualitative research methods (cognitive interview, focus groups, etc.), data collection (all modes and methods), and data reporting for your next research endeavor.
Design
Sometimes the most difficult aspect of social sciences is the design of the study itself. Do you need a cross-sectional study with a single mode of data collection; or does your research warrant a longitudinal design with multiple experimental design conditions? We can handle the simple and complex.
Data Collection
Data collection can be the most time-consuming and budget-busting part of social science research. We maintain internal capacities to conduct web-based, paper, qualitative interviews, and small-scale telephone studies. We also have partners who can help with large scale telephone or in-person data collections.
