Instruments and Services
The members of the Center for Collaboration on Research Design and Analysis have expertise in grant development, design and planning of studies, including preparation of data collection forms and database creation and data analyses. We encourage researchers to include the facility in all phases of the study from design to analysis and dissemination of results. The expertise and knowledge of the facility members can complement your area of expertise and enhance the quality, integrity and validity of your study or project.
