Custom Research Services
If neither you nor your representative are able to conduct on-site research, our staff does offer custom research services.
COVID-19 UPDATE
Due to the ongoing pandemic, IRRC is available by appointment only for in person. You may call ahead of time to setup your appointment at 218-254-7959 or, if available, we can setup a walk-in appointment. Access to the IRRC is still available online and orders will be processed as they come through.
The charge for custom research is $30 per hour, billable in half-hour increments, with a minimum charge of $15.00. Fees are for the service of performing research on your behalf. Some research may yield unexpected results, or no results at all. In all cases, the fee will be charged, regardless of the outcome.
Response time depends upon the type of research to be conducted, and demands from other customers. Requests are fulfilled in the order in which they are received.
If the research requires more than 1 hour to complete, you will be contacted for your authorization to continue the research.
