  The Center for Survey Statistics and Methodology is a research and service institute of Iowa State University. Established in 1933, it was the first statistical center of its kind in the United States, bringing persons trained in statistical theory and its applications together to work as a single organized group. The center has established a strong tradition of service and collaborative effort in developing and applying statistical methodology to support research throughout the university and beyond.
