Advanced Research Methodology Services (ARMS)

The Advanced Research Methodology Services (ARMS) aims to help faculty improve the quality of the research design and data analysis sections of their grant proposals, and assist with research and analysis upon receipt of funding.

At no cost, ARMS will provide consultation to faculty members working on external funding proposals. This consultation may include such topics as general research design, operationalization and measurement, sampling, analytic needs, management of large or complex data sets, and other methodological issues. ARMS can assist with quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies and is available to all faculty members at OU. They can also help compose those sections of the proposal so that the methods are effectively presented.

We are in the process of building an ARMS team, and are seeking faculty to serve as methodological consultants in areas of their expertise. Contact ARMS Coordinator Dennis Condron to join the team, or to access ARMS for assistance with your own proposal.
