Details

We are looking to develop a Housing Research lab, in which will seek to evaluate the current state of housing research... This will be mostly literature reviews/reports, rather than primary research being conducted.


We would like to collaborate with students to support our interview process by assisting in data collection and verification of results. This will provide us with prepared datasets that are ready for further analysis.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with interview procedures and participating in training activities.
  • Assisting researchers in contacting participants and setting up interviews.
  • Recording, organizing, and storing results according to conventions.
  • Verifying that data is recorded accurately.
  • Cleaning data to ensure consistency and usability.
  • Suggesting new research questions or modifications to improve the interview process.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of the project and interview process
  • Documentation and organization of data
  • Verification of data accuracy

Bonus steps would include:

  • Cleaning data for future analyses
  • Suggesting improvements to the interview procedure

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our research projects
  • Current understanding of our field of research
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
