ORANJ BOWL

a research panel

ORANJ BOWL is also a panel, a collection of approximately 10,000 people that can be selected on the basis of health conditions, health practices, or personal characteristics and then quickly and inexpensively, recruited to participate in additional research.

For example, do you want results from an hour long interview, including 30 minutes of your custom content, conducted among a sizeable and statistically representative sample of women between the ages of 60 and 64? Do you want these women to be cigarette smokers who suffer from one or more respiratory ailments? Do you want them to be married, have health insurance, own a dog, and take vitamins daily to be eligible for your study? No problem!

As a panel, ORANJ BOWL overcomes the barrier of the high cost of probability sampling. It allows quick and easy identification and recruitment of eligible yet often difficult to find research participants in a manner that ensures results can be generalized. Traditionally, these activities have represented more than half of the cost of conducting human subjects research.

By sharing the high costs of scientific sampling among numerous research studies, the average cost of valid, high quality, reliable research can be reduced dramatically. ORANJ BOWL delivers these savings. And in the face of today’s climate of ever-increasing budget cuts for research, ORANJ BOWL is just what today’s researchers need.
