“This year they went above and beyond, helping me and a team of researchers from several disciplines with an exciting project in which we are geo-coding millions of records from voter files and merging with several other administrative data sets. The Geospatial Center arranged several meetings, helped us select an approach, helped with trouble-shooting, and even helped set us up to do the analysis in our own lab. “

...I wanted to let you know that we successfully completed the geocoding and building of our study cohort earlier this year. Our hope is that cohort will become a resource that supports research to save lives and address the terrible problem of firearm violence in America. We couldn’t have accomplished all the geocoding without your help and the SGC. The geocodes are a critical part of the final dataset. So thank you, thank you, thank you...
