About Curtis Research Group
Patrice Curtis is the Managing Director of Curtis Research Group (CRGI). She uses a combination of her own expertise and those of others, depending upon the job at hand, to bring the best to her clients. Patrice has an undergraduate degree in Anthropology, a Master's degree in International Affairs, and post-graduate work in Anthropology at Oxford University. She refined her online and ethnographic research skills working for the Library of Congress, and overseas in Africa and eastern Europe. In addition to assisting clients in building their businesses, she teaches market research and business planning for the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center. She is certified in the NIH course, "Protecting Human Research Participants."
Patrice has several skilled team members that she works with as the task demands. This allows CRG to offer competitive pricing on both short- and long-term projects.
