- via the Survey Design and Measurement Initiative, identifies and exploits synergies and complementarities between ESRC-funded survey methods research projects, thereby adding value by means such as co-ordinated dissemination
- explores, via the Survey Management Systems project, the potential for improving the efficiency and quality of data collection in the UK via survey data management processes
- co-ordinates with international organisations and networks and provides strategic advice to the ESRC regarding survey research methods
