Member state arts agencies can request research help from NASAA. Both staff and council members can call NASAA to see how your agency compares to others and to learn about the many strategies state arts agencies use to serve the public. Information is available on a wide variety of topics, including state arts agency funding, programs, policies, planning and more. Be sure to check out the questions NASAA has answered for other states.
Also look for monthly Research on Demand columns in each edition of NASAA Notes These columns illustrate how NASAA can help your state use data creatively and answer common questions about state arts agencies.
