Overview

Research Design

Good research is decided at the design stage. This service helps individuals and institutions turn a broad interest into a precise question, choose a suitable framework and method, plan the evidence they need, and anticipate ethical issues before they arise.

Support is suited to thesis and dissertation projects, grant proposals, institutional studies and commissioned work. Sessions can be combined with the AI Proposal Builder and AI Research Design tools, always with human review of the final design.
