Self-service platform gives university teams access to nationally representative samples, automated quotas, and built-in fraud prevention in an IRB-compliant environment
Rep Data, a leading provider of full-service market research and data quality solutions, announced today the launch of ResearchU, a self-service sampling and survey platform built specifically for university researchers. Designed to help academic teams quickly field nationally representative surveys in the United States, ResearchU combines deep sample vetting, automated national quotas, and most importantly, the industry's top-rated fraud detection technology.
The platform is powered by Rep Data's Research Desk engine and includes its proprietary Research Defender fraud detection system, providing the same level of protection trusted by commercial insights teams.
“ResearchU was built with academic realities in mind – tight budgets, looming deadlines, and the need for absolute data integrity,” said Ryan Rothe, Chief Revenue Officer at Rep Data. “We've taken what works in commercial research and made it accessible and affordable for universities that can't afford to compromise on quality.”
What ResearchU offers academic researchers:
— Single-click access to pre-built, nationally representative U.S. quotas.
— The market's strongest anti-fraud tool, no need to fear peer review.
— Self-service ordering, lowest costs, and remarkable feasibility across 250+ sources.
— Ability to hand off to Rep Data Research Services for complex sample needs.
Academic researchers create a free account, submit their survey link, and easily begin fielding.
