Design Research Database

The Design Research Database initiative is in the early stages of development. It recognizes the importance of research to the growth and development of the design discipline. Unfortunately, the community lacks a resource that provides strong examples of design research. Those involved in this initiative are working to address this lack by developing a design research database.
 We are beginning to assess costs - programming, maintenance, etc. - required to see the project to fruition and to develop a list of keywords that are associated with research endeavors.
 We're reaching out to all educators for help and suggestions. If you would like to assist in the development of these resource, or have ideas to share, please contact Stacie Rohrbach at stacie [at] cmu [dot] edu.
