Data Archive now available to 3rd party researchers!
The Data Archive is a catalogue of data and instruments used throughout the Scaling Up SimCalc project. When using the Archive (in FileMaker), researchers can find out what instrumements were developed, what data was collected, and where this data can be found. If you are interested in using Scaling Up SimCalc data, please contact us by phone (1.800.890.9279) or e-mail with your request.
