From CRMDA

Overview

Motivation

The quality of scientific knowledge is only as good as the methods used to obtain it. To remain a leader in research, the University of Kansas is launching the new Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis (CRMDA). The CRMDA will bring together methodologists, statisticians, and applied researchers from across the social, behavioral, cognitive, and educational sciences to accomplish three key aims: 1) Enhance the ability of university researchers to initiate and build innovative research programs, 2) Provide the methodological and statistical expertise to compete for grants and contracts in support of investigators’ research programs, and 3) Prepare students to become the research leaders of the future. By assembling the variety of expertise in research methods and data analysis from across the KU community and directing it toward the Center’s aims, the CRMDA will enable KU to position itself as a leader across the social, behavioral, cognitive, and educational sciences and enhance the university’s ability to compete for new research initiatives.
The CRMDA is possible because of the support that it receives from:
