The Center for Policy Studies (formerly known as the Survey Research Center) is a department at the University of Akron that provides demographic data to non-profit and non-partisan entities. These generally include, but are not limited to social service agencies, governmental entities, educators, public interest groups, and the like. The Center also conducts research for similar entities. Research projects include phone and mail studies, focus group analyses, as well as a smattering of other projects. We are part of the Institute for Health and Social Policy at the University of Akron.
We
are a State Data Center, which means we act as a depository for data from the
Ohio Department of Development and
the United States Census Bureau. We have
general demographic data on the the entire United States, more specific data
on the State of Ohio, and we specialize in providing data on Summit and adjacent
Counties. Several of the State schools in Ohio are part of the Urban
University Program, and perform similar "Community Resource" functions for
their areas. Provided data are commonly used in grant writing, long term
planning, education, economic projects, quality assurance, program evaluation,
etc... Data are provided either free or with a minimal charge to
help defray expenses. Studies conducted on behalf of community entities
are naturally more expensive than extracting data from a CD ROM, statistical
abstract or off-line, and thus will entail a greater expense. Our rates for
mail surveys, phone surveys and focus group studies are very competitive.
I am a Masters graduate of the Akron
Department of Sociology, which is one part of the University Social Sciences
Division of the College of Arts and Sciences.
My
undergraduate work was done at Ashland College,
in bucolic Ashland, Ohio.
Additionally,
I am a licensed social worker
in the State of Ohio (hence the LSW after my name.)

places, on this site.
