The Alcuin Research Resource Centre (ARRC) has been made possible by funding from The Wellcome Trust/ESRC Joint Infrastructure Fund. It embodies the concept of a multidisciplinary collaborative support infrastructure for researchers involved in health and social sciences research within the Alcuin Collaboration. The infrastructure is formed partly from existing support services, such as the Centre for Heath Economics/Centre for Reviews and Dissemination Information Service and partly from new services and facilities.
Mapping the research process, ARRC offers four service areas: Data Collection Data Management Data Analysis Dissemination of research findings	Maps and directions to the ARRC Booking ARRC rooms Management & Stakeholders Group members: contact information Directory of ARRC member staff research interests
DATA COLLECTION The service includes two focus group rooms and two interview rooms with CCTV and audio recording equipment, along with two telephone interview rooms. The ARRC also houses a 32-PC data collection suite which is the home for the Centre for Experimental Economics (EXEC) as well as being available to others for data collection via PCs and research training.
