The UCED conducts substantial research studies that focus on clearly defined development problems. Marketing studies, impact analyses, agribusiness studies, labor market studies, economic base studies and target industry analyses are among the applied research studies that UCED is prepared to undertake. Basic Research
Nevada is a rapidly growing state; its economy is undergoing substantial changes as the state looks to advanced technology and a service-based future. The UCED is in a unique position to conduct broad based studies that deal with economic and demographic changes, development trends, diversification, strategic development planning and the implications of natural resource, environmental and economic policies. Technical and Management Assistance
Municipal, county and state agencies, and local industry or development organizations seeking a quick response to focused problems in regional development planning can look to UCED staff and consultants for solutions. Counseling and Referral Services
Regional development problems are often more complex than they first appear. UCED staff can help with the "scoping" for problems and approaches to problem solving. Workshops and Seminars
The UCED organizes and conducts training and other professional educational programs ranging from introductory sessions on regional development and development planning to advanced programs that provide an in-depth treatment of specific development issues.
