Welcome   |   Survey Research Program Overview

The Survey Research Program (SRP) maintains a highly experienced staff of survey professionals, trained interviewers, and data management specialists.  SRP services are available to faculty, staff, and students throughout the University, and to local, state, and federal agencies and others working in the public interest. SRP services are also available to faculty from other institutions.

SRP is able to carry out any or all phases of a survey research project, including sample design, questionnaire design, data collection, data processing, statistical analysis, and reporting.  SRP staff has the training and experience to design scientifically valid studies customized to client research needs. SRP can help clarify study objectives, and provide advice on how to obtain the highest quality data within available resource constraints.  What makes SRP unique at the University is our survey data collection infrastructure, including a 32-station computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) facility, a pool of trained and experienced interviewers, and professional supervisory staff to ensure continuous quality control. More detailed descriptions of SRP services and experience are presented below.
