Resources for Grants

MCAP provides several services to support students and faculty with regard to grants. 

Do you need a statistical or methodological consultant to support a grant proposal, but aren't sure where to look?

Email MCAP@purdue.edu. We can help you identify and connect with an affiliated faculty member to help establish a collaboration.

Do you want to include MCAP in your facilities and other resources section?

Here is some text that you can include and/or modify to suit your needs. Feel free to reach out to MCAP@purdue.edu with any questions or if you need help tailoring the text to your grant.

The Methodology Center at Purdue (MCAP) is cross-college center working towards increasing methodological expertise and collaborative opportunities in the behavioral, health, and social sciences. The Methodology Center has fostered a strong support system for advanced statistics and methodology, including workshopping, aiding in study design, troubleshooting data issues, and conducting statistical analyses. MCAP facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration by hosting a monthly work-in-progress seminar series, regular workshops, and facilitating external speakers for talks and conferences. MCAP creates an atmosphere of diverse analytical perspectives. Affiliates have deep expertise in qualitative methodologies, experimental design, econometric modeling, data visualization, and computational ‘big data’ analysis, among other areas. MCAP also offers open consultation, and an interdisciplinary research methods certificate program to enhance methodological training of the next generation of scientists. Thus, MCAP provides a strong resource (i.e., though methodological and statistical consultation) to help facilitate the success and rigorous work of the health and social sciences. 

Do you want to leverage MCAP to bolster your training?

Check our our certificate program. It may be helpful to include the certificate as a training component. We can also help to identify mentors for training grants, and if it makes sense for the proposal, to provide a letter of support. Email MCAP@purdue.edu with questions.
