Proposals Sought for Research Using NCAA Student-Athlete Data
The NCAA seeks outstanding proposals for studies of issues important to NCAA student-athletes and NCAA member institutions using data from its Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Learning of Students in College Study (GOALS). These data are housed in the NCAA Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive at ICPSR.
In 2006, GOALS survey responses were received from more than 19,780 student-athletes representing all three divisions at 620 NCAA member institutions. Respondents provided a range of information about their lives as student-athletes, including:
- Academic engagement and success
- Athletics experiences
- Campus and team climate
- Career aspirations
- Health and well-being
- Social experiences
- Time commitments
In the first phase of this pilot program, the NCAA will approve data access for a limited number of proposals. Preference will be given to high-quality proposals that demonstrate a clear rationale and articulate specific, testable research questions.
