HHD Methodology Consulting Center

The HHD Methodology Consulting Center provides consultation in the areas of statistics, research design, and measurement for faculty, staff and graduate students of the College of Health and Human Development and for social science faculty researchers due to the support the Center receives from the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI). Although our consulting activities will not be limited to grant-related activities, we consider providing support for grant applications and providing consultation for funded research to be among our most important responsibilities. Beyond that we will provide consultation on any of these topics to any member of the College or social science faculty researchers.

The Center is housed in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies (Steven H. Zarit, Head). Support for the Center is provided by that Department. Additional support is provided by the Child, Youth, and Family Consortium (Karen Bierman, Director). The consulting staff will consist of faculty members and research associates of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies.
