About SRU

The Survey Research Unit was established in 2002 to coordinate survey research at The University of Auckland, manage the CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) resources and provide an organisational unit for staff with expertise in survey research. It is operated by a Manager, Director and a Management Committee. Involved in externally funded survey research and internal use of the CATI resource - a university-wide facility - it is based in the School of Population Health and has contract projects with the Ministry of Health and other agencies.

Background

The Survey Research Unit was established to manage the CATI resource and to provide a resource for University staff carrying out survey research. The development of the SRU will enhance both research and creative work within the University along with providing teaching and learning excellence. Research capacity and potential in this area will be greatly improved, as SRU’s structure will facilitate identification of expertise in securing, preparing, and delivering contracts where surveys are an integral component.
