SRP has conducted a wide range of survey research projects over the years.   The surveys have involved both general and special populations, have focused on a wide variety of topics, and have incorporated various modes of data collection (i.e., telephone, mail, web, face-to-face, mixed-mode).  Our clients have included University faculty from a variety of schools and departments, faculty from other universities, state and local governments, and other outside agencies.  The major types of projects SRP conducts and specific examples of recent or current SRP studies are presented below.

These are surveys conducted for administrators and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh that focus on institutional issues with policy implications.

• Web-based survey of a representative sample of Pitt undergraduates focused on their experiences with writing as part of their undergraduate education. (n = 1,000)
   
• Web-based survey of Law School faculty focusing on several areas relevant to strategic planning. (n = 40)
   
• Annual telephone surveys of Pitt undergraduate and withdrawing students to determine factors related to satisfaction and retention. (n = 2,000 per year)
