Social science and humanities R&D establishments design and conduct studies, surveys, experiments, and analyses in areas such as psychology, sociology, economics, linguistics, political science, and related disciplines. Work product typically includes research reports, policy briefs, academic publications, or consulting deliverables for government agencies, foundations, corporations, or academic clients. Day-to-day operations are largely office-based or involve field data collection, human-subjects interviews, focus groups, or large-scale quantitative data analysis.
Questions to investigate
- What types of clients does the firm primarily serve — government agencies, private foundations, corporations, or academic institutions?
- Does the firm conduct human-subjects research, and if so, does it involve any vulnerable populations or sensitive behavioral or health data?
- How is participant or survey respondent data collected, stored, and shared — and are formal data security and IRB protocols in place?
- What is the mix of employees, independent contractors, and grant-funded research staff — and how are those relationships structured?
