The Research Repository: A Registry of Research Needs and Interests-Connecting Potential Collaborators

Technical Communication has not been known as a profession with a particularly strong basis in theory and research. Members of the profession are often too busy solving problems and meeting deadlines to do some of the extra work or document what has been done. This site has been established as a central site to connect those who want to do research, those who want to fund research, and those who have the need for research results. It could pave the way for more and better research in our profession.
  • Researchers seeking funding could connect with those willing to fund research
  • Those seeking to fund specific research projects could connect with those interested in doing the research and capable of doing it
  • Those seeking to do or fund research could connect with those who have successfully done so in the past-helping to pave the way for new collaborations
  • Those seeking to do research could connect with those who have done similar research and learn from their experience
  • Those seeking to do research could examine the research base of what has already been done to identify gaps to be filled

Establishing and maintaining this site requires collaboration and support from industrial organizations, academic institutions, and professional societies. We will be updating and adding to this site regularly. If you have information that you would like to post to the site or if you know of links that would be useful, please send them to us. If you have any suggestions or comments, please send them in.
