Clients and Center Use
We will monitor the use of the Methodology Consulting Group to determine who in the college and the colleges aligned with the Social Science Research Institute is taking advantage of the services provided. We will keep track of who the clients are (faculty members, research associates, staff members, graduate students, undergraduate students), the purpose of the consultation (e.g. brief statistical question; ongoing help with project-related data analysis; grant proposal assistance); and the 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.
