What kinds of organizations do you typically work with?
TSD works with academic medical centers, educators, educational researchers, hospitals, and healthcare organizations, among many others. If your team is using surveys to assess perceptions, attitudes, or other outcomes, we can help.
Can you help revise or evaluate an existing survey?
Absolutely. Whether you’re starting from scratch or have an existing tool, we offer expert reviews and redesigns based on best practices in survey design and pretesting.
What if I already have a draft survey? Can you just review it?
Yes, for sure. We frequently provide expert reviews of existing surveys—identifying problems with item clarity, bias, formatting, and response structure. We’ll offer practical edits and evidence-informed suggestions to improve your tool.
How long does it take to develop a high-quality survey?
Timelines vary based on complexity, but most custom survey projects take 4–6 weeks from design to pilot-ready version (although some large-scale projects can take much longer). We can also accommodate shorter timelines when needed, especially for reviews or minor revisions.
Do you help with IRB submissions or publications?
Yes. We routinely assist clients in preparing IRB applications, writing methods sections, and responding to journal reviewers—ensuring your survey research is publishable and credible.
Can you help with data analysis and writing the results section of a paper?
Definitely. We analyze survey data and can help draft the methods and results sections for IRB applications, research papers, or internal reports. We also assist in preparing figures and tables.
Do you offer help with survey distribution and data collection?
Yes. While we don’t typically run mass survey distribution campaigns, we advise on best practices for survey administration—platform selection (e.g., Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, REDCap), timing, reminders, and increasing response rates.
What makes Tailored Survey Design different from larger firms?
We’re not a mass-market vendor—we’re a mission-driven survey-design company led by an expert with decades of experience. Every project is customized. Every client matters.
Is Tailored Survey Design only for academic clients?
Not at all. While we specialize in health professions education and research, we also work with hospitals, nonprofits, government agencies, and healthcare startups. If your work relies on human data, we can help you get it right.
How much does it cost to work with you?
Our pricing depends on the scope of the project. We offer fixed-fee packages for small jobs (like survey reviews) and custom quotes for larger engagements. We’re happy to provide a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and budget.
