Social Research Centre (SRC)

The Social Research Centre (SRC) is a multidisciplinary unit located within Ontario Tech University. It utilizes the skill set of employees and various research methodologies, to create, distribute and analyze surveys, as well as focus groups, interviews and service/program evaluations. The centre also excels in grant application review and writing techniques, that play a large role in the acquisition of federal, provincial and private sector grants. The previously mentioned areas are heavily client-driven, wherein we will explore the needs of the client in order to create a customized research plan for the specific needs of the client. The SRC utilizes both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, as well as other research related activities to aid research in a variety of fields. The SRC has a secure office located within the university, and is equipped with software to facilitate both qualitative and quantitative research. Led by Matthew Stein, the SRC also gives graduate and undergraduate students practical learning opportunities, as well as experience in facilitating various parts of research projects.
