HHD Methodology Consulting Center: Clients and Center Use

We will monitor the use of the Consulting Center to determine who in the College and the colleges aligned with the Social Science Research Institute is taking advantage of the service provided. We will keep track of who the clients are (faculty, research associates, staff, graduate students, undergraduate students), the purpose of the consultation (e.g. brief statistical question; ongoing help with project-related data analysis; grant proposal assistance); particular methods used (e.g. regression, structural equations modeling; multilevel modeling; factor analysis). We will use the methods requested as a basis for determining which workshops might have broad appeal throughout the College.
