We Want Your Voice! Take Our Quick Survey
A Stevenson Fellow is conducting an IRB-approved study through ISU examining how data tools and processes are used in community development. The study seeks input from professionals in local government, nonprofit organizations, research institutions, and other community-serving organizations in community development.
The survey takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. Participation will help improve understanding of how organizations use data to support community outcomes and inform future tools and resources for practitioners.
If you or your colleagues are involved in community development work, your perspective would be valuable.
