General Social Survey- Supplement Opportunities

Can the General Social Survey contribute to your research area?
Note the following opportunity announced by ICPSR from NORC (National Opinion Research Center):

For the 2010 General Social Survey (GSS) funds are expected from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support added supplements. Proposals for topics for these NSF-funded modules are solicited from the social science community. The program is described at:

"Call for Proposals to Add Questions to the 2010 GSS"

http://www.norc.org/NR/rdonlyres/2E75FB22-4D36-474F-AA28-97D9A2C04B6C/998/CallforProposalstoAddQuestionstothe2010GSS.pdf

Please note the submission deadline of October 1, 2009.

In addition, the GSS expects to have space available on the survey for modules not funded by NSF. Those who want to fund a paid supplement on the 2010 GSS should consult the document at

"Guidelines for Paid Supplements to the GSS."
