Welcome to the CCRD.....

The Center for Community Research and Development (CCRD) was established at Baylor in 1979 as a multidisciplinary entity with a mission of engaging Baylor faculty and students in applied social research aimed at improving the local quality of life. Over time, the CCRD has broadened its focus, sometimes engaging in statewide or national research, and the CCRD has become closely linked with Baylor's graduate program, specifically the Ph.D. in Applied Sociology. Still, our research remains multidisciplinary and many of the CCRD's projects retain a local quality of life focus.

The CCRD offers various research services such as telephone surveys. The surveys are facilitated by the center's CATI system.
