Abstract

In 2014, the ANU purchased the Social Research Centre — a full-service research organization in Melbourne, Australia that provides study design and testing; survey and
qualitative data collection; program evaluation; statistical consulting; data management; reporting and dissemination services to ANU and other clients. The Social Research Centre specialises in high quality data collection and engaging with hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations. The company co-founded and works closely with the Centre for Social Research Methods at ANU, conducting quarterly ANUPolls and collaborating on many other studies. This seminar will provide an overview of the company and its work with ANU, and will explain how ANU researchers can use their services to advance research and impact.
