Survey and Reporting Pricing

Survey administration and reporting pricing is based on the agreement between Iowa State University and the participating institution. The primary administration is the largest administration included on the invoice. To qualify as an additional administration, the survey needs to be included on the invoice.

Pricing includes (a) survey administration; (b) data preparation; and (c) reporting with national norms for each survey administration within a 12-month period, assuming all data collected during that period are reported in the aggregate. Additional reports and contracts that exceed 12 months are subject to additional fees.

A $300 programming fee may be added if an institution adds institutional specific questions or uses the same survey for multiple groups and needs a survey item to allow the students to indicate with a group. The fee covers the time needed to reprogram the survey software and any additional time needed to modify the Institutional Review Board approval through Iowa State University.
