The Iowa Social Science Research Center (ISRC) is a UI and community-wide resource for inter-disciplinary social science research. ISRC offerings include grant develop-ment support, data collection and management services and methodological consulting. An overview of the ISRC’s services will be provided, detailing how the ISRC can assist researchers and students in: obtaining external funding, collecting primary data from diverse population targets and acquiring methodological support for data in-terpretation, data management and study planning.
The Statistics Outreach Center (SOC) was created to assist faculty, staff, and students with research design, data analysis, and interpretation. Our mission is fundamental-ly educational; we provide assistance to researchers to de-velop the skills needed to design their own research, con-duct the analyses, understand the results, and communi-cate their findings to an audience. In addition to statisti-cal consulting, the SOC offers statistical software training courses and seminars. Each semester we offer free short courses to help researchers from across campus get start-ed with popular statistical software like SAS, SPSS, and R. We also offer training tailored to the needs of specific groups on request.
