Make a difference. Take part in Tippie research.

Tippie researchers are dedicated to making meaningful improvements to their fields of business. Much of their research is conducted through online surveys, interviews, or computer simulations. Each year, Tippie researchers need new participants (or subjects) for these important studies.
Your participation in the Tippie Alumni Research Participant Pool will enable our researchers to utilize a wider array of people in their subject pool. 

If you’re interested in participating in such a project, please complete our online survey.
