The size and varied backgrounds of the Chapin Hall research staff allow us to undertake a broad variety of projects. At any time, we have about 70 projects underway. Some are of relatively short duration and others last many years. Some address local needs, others state and national. Our projects employ a broad range of qualitative and quantitative methods, but Chapin Hall is recognized as a pioneer in the use of large administrative data sets to analyze administrative databases within and across human services sectors. The projects listed here are just a brief sampling of some of our current projects.
