Recognizing the increased demand for the application of sophisticated, integrated qualitative and quantitative research methods by the major funding agencies and forward-thinking social science institutions, we are acutely aware that the vast majority of those expected to produce such research have training in only one discipline or the other.  Those trained and comfortable planning and leading research using anthropological methods are often not prepared to plan the quantitative aspects of such a study nor manage and analyze the data that would be collected.  Similarly, quantitative investigators are typically unfamiliar and uncomfortable with qualitative methods.  To help meet the very real needs of projects seeking to integrate both methods, we formed SocioCultural Research Consultants, LLC (SCRC) to consult with researchers and practitioners on the planning, implementation, write-up, and dissemination of mixed methods research.  SCRC consulting will tailor the use of EthnoNotes to your specific study and provides experienced professional academic research knowledge and skills to any investigator interested in the most innovative, reliable, and valid qualitative and integrated methods. We’re proud to bring you the latest version of EthnoNotes, but SCRC is much more than that.  We’re acknowledged experts in nearly every aspect of social science research.  In particular, we’re in the vanguard of those dedicated to developing and implementing integrated (mixed methods) approaches in the social sciences.  We’re your gateway to a network of professional researchers with both methodological and applied expertise.  SCRC is prepared to provide you with guidance in applying mixed methods:
