Listed below are the many ways the SSRC can help members of the ODU 教师. If there is anything else you may need and are unsure if the SSRC can help, please stop by BAL Room 2000 or e邮件 导演 你Vandecar-Burdin.

拨款建议、评审 & 数据收集

Are you working on a grant proposal? Do you need an evaluation of the new teaching strategy, program or intervention you are proposing? Do you need data collected via a survey, focus group, or other means?

If so we can help you in your endeavors. Many funding agencies require some type of evaluation to answer the questions: did you do what you said you were going to do and if so, 结果如何?? The SSRC has often served as the "outside evaluator" to answer those funder questions about your project. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss research methods, 数据收集, and budgeting needs for your grant proposal.

研究 Experience for Your Students

We provide periodic employment opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to help conduct telephone surveys, 邮件调查, and other 数据收集 tasks. We also employ one graduate research assistant with an assistantship funded by the College. SSRC graduate research assistants have majored in applied sociology, 国际研究, 语言学, 还有创意写作.

教学研究方法

SSRC staff have made presentations in research methods classes regarding telephone, 邮件, and web surveys and how to conduct research in the "real world". Other faculty have brought their students to the Center during class-time to learn more about conducting research, to observe the CATI lab first-hand, and to discuss and ask questions about conducting social science research. SSRC staff have also reviewed student survey instruments for class projects and given feedback about wording, 格式, 长度, 和传播.

We are happy to meet with faculty and other individuals who are conducting their own research to provide a fresh perspective regarding your efforts as well as constructive criticism and feedback about the overall 数据收集 plan and tools.
