Graduate Student Assistants

The IPR began training undergraduate and graduate research assistants in research design and survey research in 1971. The IPR continues to provide students the opportunity to apply classroom learning in a research setting.

Working in conjunction with IPR Research Associates, graduate assistants (GAs) are involved in most aspects of the research process including training of interviewers, statistical programming, data collection, coding and data analysis. This involvement allows graduate assistants to see classroom theory translated into practical day-to-day research activities. Further, this involvement, combined with in-house training in survey research methodology and statistical software, provides students with the ability to hone their methodological and statistical skills as well as to refine their analytic capabilities. GAs benefit from easy access to public data collected or stored in the IPR data archive and from the widespread recognition of the IPR as a leader in the survey research field.
