Description
The Citizen Social Science Training Program is designed to be implemented by residents in their own community, equipping local citizens to build capacity and develop industry-standard data management skills at the grassroots level. Industry standards ensure integrity and value of data, an important quality for findings to be accepted and leveraged, both near and far. This qualitative data training will help you learn best practices to collect, analyze, and report textual data collected from interviews or focus groups.

A special thanks to Kerri VanderHoff (Coalition for Community Development) and Marquis Childers (Muskegon Heights Neighborhood Association Council), who were the community partners who collaborated on this Citizen Social Science Project as well as the cohort of students based in Muskegon Heights who participated in the initial Citizen Social Science: Qualitative Data Training. In addition, the work of undergraduate research assistants Louis Cousino and Alexis Phillips was crucial for the development and implementation of this training. Finally, funding from the Community Foundation for Muskegon County was imperative to the success of the training implementation.
