The Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) provides support for interdisciplinary child development research. Support services include proposal development, specific aims, study design, sampling, data collection, participant recruitment, data management, data visualization, and statistical analysis for projects ranging from small pilot studies, secondary data analysis, longitudinal cohorts, and large-scale multi-site cluster randomized controlled trials. We currently support more than 20 projects and have served as a data coordinating center, data management hub, and methodologic support for projects for more than 30 years.

CSRL
On July 1, 2024, The Carolina Survey Research Laboratory (CSRL) moved from the Department of Biostatistics to the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute.
Since its creation in 1990 as the Survey Research Unit, the Carolina Survey Research Laboratory (CSRL) has provided expertise in data collection, survey design, questionnaire design, population-based estimates, and weighting for the research community at UNC Chapel Hill.
Now working alongside DMAC, CSRL will continue to provide the same services historically offered, but now with additional capacity for more data collection and data management options. In joining with DMAC, CSRL’s capacity for survey and question design, data collection, and comprehensive data management and analysis is enhanced, fostering innovative research collaborations and improving the quality and impact of research outcomes.
