Institute for Regional Development Research Center

The Institute for Regional Development at Bridgewater State College has developed into a full-service survey center with capabilities for developing and implementing telephone, mail, and web-based surveys.  For telephone surveying, we are fortunate to have direct access to a 12 station telephone research center in Maxwell Library and a team of trained telephone interviewers.  For mail surveying, we work closely with college staff utilizing our fully-automated bulk mail facility which allows for quick turnaround at reduced costs.  Since our inception in 1996, we have worked on a wide variety of important policy and organizational surveys for clients across Southeastern Massachusetts.  The following is a short list of recent clients and the type of projects that we have partnered on:
