Data Stewardship and Social Science Research Projects
Acting as a global leader in data stewardship is part of ICPSR's mission. Here, we highlight some of our current projects in data stewardship and social science research, and the people behind this important work.
Measuring the Impact of Curatorial ActionsThis project studies how curatorial actions impact the use of digital collections by: 1) identifying curatorial actions; 2) measuring the impacts of curation; and 3) developing curatorial metrics.
New Methods to Support Census Bureau Record LinkageUndertaking research that will improve Census capabilities for entity resolution and record linkage
Research Data EcosystemThe Research Data Ecosystem will make research data accessible to broaden participation in the frontiers of scientific research. It will accomplish this goal by modernizing the existing software platform so that it supports the entire research lifecycle with an enhanced user experience to increase the ability of researchers to safely and securely access, connect, store, and manipulate data.
Social, Behavioral, and Economic COVID Coordinating Center (SBE CCC)A nexus for communication and collaboration on social, behavioral, and economic research on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Measures of Effective Teaching Longitudinal DatabaseResearchers may apply for access to quantitative data and classroom videos created by the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) project, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
PEERS Data HubThe Partnership for Expanding Education Research in STEM Data Hub (PEERS) serves as a platform for connecting researchers to STEM data and related resources across sites; as a learning environment to build data management and use skills; and as a network for communication, interaction, and engagement across a broad and diverse STEM education research community.
College and Beyond II: Outcomes of a Liberal Arts EducationThe aim of the project is to refine and test a set of measures and methods for representing the nature and assessing the value of a liberal arts education.
