Subject: 41 Days Left to Propose Questions to be Included in a National Survey for Free

If you would like to propose questions to be included in a multi-wave panel survey of a representative national sample of American adults (at no cost to you), now is the time to submit them to the American National Election Studies (ANES) review process.

For the 2007-2009 ANES Panel Study, we will interview a panel of respondents (1,800 people initially) six times between September 2007, and May 2009. The questionnaires for these surveys can be filled with any questions that will help scholars understand the causes or consequences of people's decisions about whether or not to vote in the 2008 election and for whom to vote. The schedule of reinterviews will allow researchers to study changes in individuals' attitudes, beliefs, behavior, and more, and to study causal impact of one variable on another.

The data will be collected via self-administered questionnaires completed over the Internet, and the panel of respondents will be recruited especially to participate in this study. The entire data set will be made available to all interested scholars at no cost.

The questions to be included on the six waves will be selected through a public and transparent peer review process. Proposals will be accepted only via the ANES Online Commons (OC), a web-based system for the posting and review of proposals:

There are only 41 days left to submit a proposal to include questions on the first waves of the 2007-2009 ANES Panel Study. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 31, 2007, after which the OC will remain open for a short period to allow comments and proposal revisions to be posted.

As of right now, the questionnaires are wide open. This is the largest open opportunity in years to place questions on an ANES study. We thank NSF for making this possible and hope to be able to accommodate your proposal in this study.

Sincerely,

Jon Krosnick and Arthur Lupia
