Research is a process of investigation — a way of looking at information from many different aspects in an attempt to find accurate answers to your questions. Let’s take a look at a research model.
SECTION 2: HOW UNIVERSITIES IMPACT YOU
What Is Research?
2.20
REFLECTIONBefore, during and after the process
Identify an issue and develop a research question.1
Learn more about your issue. What does existing research show?2
Gather and analyze data.4
Take action and share your findings.5
Develop a strategy for your study.3
SECTION 2: HOW UNIVERSITIES IMPACT YOU
2.21
Data is information gathered in the research process:
• People and places• Dates and times• Tools and measurements• Weather• Seasons• Years• You name it!
SECTION 2: HOW UNIVERSITIES IMPACT YOU
Every piece of information can be valuable data.2.22
In the State of Tomorrow ™ series, you’ll see how research centers use data to solve complex problems.

What Is a Research Center?
• Revolutionary cancer care methods at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.
• Conservation in the Gulf of Mexico at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
• Exploration of the solar system at UT Austin’s McDonald Observatory.
• Cold case crime scene investigations at the University of North Texas Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology and Human Identification.

A research center is a facility that exists to advance human knowledge about different aspects of the world, such as:
Advantages of Working in a Research Center
• Students and professors work together to answer questions.
• Researchers can work together or individually on different aspects of a problem.
• Community members can consult with experts about real problems and raise questions that may start a new research project.
SECTION 2: HOW UNIVERSITIES IMPACT YOU
2.25
Community/University Research Partnerships
A university research center partners with the community and agrees to look for answers to the question.
The research process begins through studies that often involve community members.
A community has a question or problem it needs help solving. This can be in any number of areas: water conservation, healthcare, pollution, etc.
Community learns research results. Sometimes a study may generate additional research or lead to a solution that’s implemented in the community.

Real-World ResearchIn every episode of State of Tomorrow™ you’ll see examples of the profound impact research can have on our everyday lives. Large or small, each new research project begins with a question that usually leads to more questions.
For example:• How do we protect our natural resources for future generations?• How can we better help people in the event of a disaster?• How does music impact our daily lives? • What is public art?
