  ACET staff and consultants come from a broad range of backgrounds. The common link that binds our staff and consultants together is the passion for solid research design. Our team offers research consultation that provides a foundation of empirical methodology that will provide valid and reliable results. Our practice is to develop research methodologies that adhere to the highest standards of scientific rigor.

Our research designs include Longitudinal Studies, Quasi-experimental designs with identification of comparison groups, Interrupted Time Series with multiple design elements, Case Studies, and Randomized Control Trials. We utilize mixed-methods designs in which quantitative (numbers) and qualitative (experiences) data sources are used to maximize the interpretation of your results.

Our services include:

  • General research consultation and design
  • Instrument design, data collection, and data management
  • Statistical modeling, analysis, and interpretation
  • Reporting (including publication in peer-reviewed journals)
