The Health Survey Research Center (HSRC) is an Internal Service Organization (ISO) unit within the Dean's Office of the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota. The Health Survey Research Center serves the data collection and participant recruitment needs of health researchers from the Masonic Cancer Center, School of Public Health, the Academic Health Center, the wider University of Minnesota community, and beyond.

HSRC collects and manages research data for population-based research. Services include sample selection; survey design; pre-testing; forms layout; mail surveys; telephone surveys; Internet surveys; tracking study subjects lost to follow up; data entry (key and verify); and database design and management.

We are located on the East Bank of the University's Twin Cities campus in a building called 717 Delaware.
