The available information does not list pricing for any candidate. Costs will need to be confirmed based on the project scope, such as evaluation, grant writing, data-system development, or training.

What should I look for in an educational research partner?

Match the provider's specialties to the project: Edstar lists program evaluation, mixed-methods research, grants, dashboards, and data training, while Duke's Social Science Research Institute focuses on social-science methods, surveys, data management, and network analysis.

Edstar states that it responds within one or two business days. The available information does not provide turnaround estimates for completed evaluations, grant proposals, or data systems.

Are these organizations for emergency research needs?

No. These are academic, educational, or research-service organizations rather than emergency providers; project timing should be confirmed directly, especially for grant deadlines or time-sensitive evaluations.

Do I need to be affiliated with Duke to use its research institutes?
