Elite's statistical consulting team is excited to announce that Columbia University’s proposal has been approved to evaluate an intervention designed to change attitudes and behaviors regarding mental illnesses during early adolescence. The goal is to enhance knowledge by changing inaccurate beliefs about people with mental illnesses, improve the lives of children and adults with mental illnesses, and induce help-seeking behaviors that bring people to appropriate mental health services. It is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and it will take about four years to complete. Elite’s role in the project involves René, Wyndy, and Jackie advising them on the study design and data collection, in addition to running the analyses and assisting them in interpreting their findings.

I would like to thank Elite Research for their excellent support and assistance throughout the prospectus and dissertation writing process. I believe that the Elite Research team played a critical role in completing both projects in a timely manner. The staff provided expertise in data analysis and presentation of the research findings.

We have been working with Elite Research for the last five years on a global project spanning 45 nations. For each nation participating, Elite Research has overseen the statistical analysis ensuring accuracy and thus increasing our credibility. We also have gained from training courses tailored to our specific research needs, brainstorming sessions, and visual illustrations which have later been incorporated into fundraising and board presentations. It has been a pleasure partnering with Elite Research and it is our hope to continue on in the future.

Nonprofit Organization
Elite Research was the most professional research company that I could find and the most reliable. This company helped me during my thesis from my pilot study that I conducted through my defense. It was really nice to have a cheering section in my corner after I called them to tell them I’d passed. In the end, I was well prepared for my defense. I was so prepared and defended so well, that the only question my thesis committee had for me was if and when was I going to get my PhD. It was great! I look forward to using your services again as I have started my PhD program and will be seeking your professional assistance again.

Anna Magie, PhD
My project paper looks fabulous! It reminds me of a seminar that I recently attended on customer service. They gave us examples of what employees do when they do great work versus what employees do who cause the Wow Factor in delivery of services to clients/customers. The Elite Research team caused the Wow Factor in the quality and delivery of the documents for my Capstone Project Study, in an exemplary fashion! Please give a special thanks to the editors. Thanks a lot!

[My Elite Research consultant] was my "statistical mentor" for my online faculty and student surveys sent to over 100 undergraduate writing programs at diverse institutions. She provided invaluable assistance in helping me refine my survey questions so that they would read more professionally and produce findings that would be valid and convincing. [my consultant] also helped me understand the implications of my survey’s findings so that I would not understate nor overstate them. I consider [my consultant] an extremely valuable resource to graduate students engaged in analytical research projects that achieve high confidence ratings and are replicable.
