Corporate Research Agencies (Basic or Gold Seal) have to pay annual Preferred Research Registration Fees at the time they renew their Corporate membership if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • If their company collects its own research data from respondents using any method (phone, online, mail, in-person, focus group, intercept), even if only on an ad hoc basis;
  • If their company has in-house Internet/online research capabilities.

Preferred Research Registration Fees:

  • All Corporate Members of MRIA have an obligation to ensure that all their research projects involving the participation of respondents are registered with MRIA's Research Registration System.
  • All research projects must be registered, regardless of data collection methods or target audiences. In 2007, MRIA launched a "per interview" method of charging fees, which is deemed to be the most equitable.
  • There is an expectation that, increasingly, clients will require the registration of their research studies and that the fee for registering them will need to be identified as a separate item on invoices.
  • As a guideline, when more than one Research Agency is involved with data collection for a given research project, the organization with the most direct responsibility for the entire data collection is responsible for registration and payment of fees.
  • The Preferred Research Registration Fees listed below already include the discount to which Corporate Research Agency Members are entitled.

Total number of interviews completed annually directly by your company using any methodology (phone, online, mail, in-person, focus groups, intercept), excludingthose completed by a sub-contractor. (#) Preferred Research Registration Fees , January 1 to December 31 (CDN$) before GST/HST

(#) When selecting the total number of completed interviews per year, include the interviews completed by your Canadian operation only, for Canadian respondents only. When selecting the total number of completed interviews per year, include any interviews completed by a sub-contractor if, by agreement with the sub-contractor, your firm will be responsible for registering the survey.

(*) Corporate Research Agencies which are directly responsible for data collection from fewer than 1,000 respondents annually incur no registration fees. However, they must still register their research studies with MRIA, regardless of the number of respondents or the method used to collect the data.

(@) Preferred Research Registration fees for NEW Corporate members of MRIA are pro-rated from July 5 to December 31, 2010. During your Corporate membership transaction in the MRIA Portal, the Preferred Research Registration fees charged will be 40% lower than the annual fees displayed on this page.
