The
CDRC offers opportunities for the Department of Human
Development and Family Studies faculty and researchers across
the University, state, region, and nation to conduct
interdisciplinary research relating to children and families.
The research wing of the CDRC resides on the second floor of the
facility and houses the offices of the College of Human
Environmental Sciences Research Chair and other research
faculty.
Seven spacious suites are available for principal investigators
of externally funded grants, providing space for personnel and
research staff to conduct research projects. Five large
research observation rooms can accommodate four to eight
research participants. Each research observation room is
equipped with two-way mirrors. Multiple video cameras in
each of these observation rooms allow investigators to record
from different angles. The research wing also has several
digital data coding rooms. In addition, the classrooms
downstairs in the Children's Program have research booths with
sophisticated video-recording capabilities. Research rooms are
located near the classrooms for testing and observing individual
or small groups of children. |
