What We Do
Augusta State University (ASU) strives to be an institution that enriches its community through service and research. In support of this mission, the Center for Public Service and Research seeks to be regionally recognized for its high-quality research and service. Under contract or grant from local, state, and federal governments and consortia, as well as private sector for-profit and non-profit organizations, the Center provides research, technical assistance, and training.
Business, governmental, educational and professional organizations throughout the southeast can benefit from our services. Because the Center is located on a university campus, we have easy access to multiple resources, including well-qualified faculty. Our faculty have expertise in market research, economic studies, feasibility studies, area wide surveys, health policy studies, community needs assessments, health service needs and other research activities. We can also provide statistical and qualitative analysis of data your organization may have, but needs analyzed. Our faculty and students are our greatest assets.
