	Academic Consultation: Research Design Review   Some students have found it valuable to have us review their Organic Inquiry research design proposal prior to submitting it to committee or IRB process.  We due this on a flat fee basis, with a 10 day or less turn around time.  Included in the review are:  (1) feedback on your use of the principles and process models of Organic Inquiry; (2) critique of the internal compatibility of overarching question, data gathering and analysis methods; (3) suggestions for strengthening validity measures; (4) recommendations for extending the use of spiritual tools in the data gathering and analysis processes; (5) further resources when useful.  The cost for this review is $50 up to 50 pages, $85 for 51-125 pages, $150 for more than 125 pages.  To check our availability to do a review at this time, click here to send an initial email.

	Academic Consultation: Pre-IRB Review   Because Organic Inquiry is a relatively new and avant garde methodology, some institutional review boards have stumbled over various aspects of OI study designs.  While there are never any guarantees about what will and won't be challenged by your IRB, we offer students the opportunity to have our experienced eyes catch the potential problems, thus increasing the chance of smoother, swifter, sailing through the approval process.    Our flat fee-based review is normally completed for you within 4 days and includes (1) identification of potential trouble spots; (2) recommendations for phrasing changes on points that concern IRBs; (3) critique of issues that probably won't get past your IRB without a lot of hassle; (4) suggestions for re-thinking essential risks in your design and how to pre-emptively handle those with your IRB.  Cost for our review is $100.  To check on our availability to do a review at this time, click here to send an email.

	Academic Consultation: Organic Dissertation Critique   We are very pleased to take part in your dissertation process, as field advisors, as reviewers prior to completion, or as outside readers / external examiners.  Others have sent completed drafts prior to submission to degree committees.  Dr Curry is also available to participate as the methodology expert on your dissertation committee.  Fees vary for this level of consultation.  Click here to let us know what you have in mind, and to find out if we're available at this time.  Depending on how our consultation fits in your research budget, we'll work out an arrangement that's cost effective for you and fair for our time and expertise.
