2018 CSES

2018年的CCES是美国50多个不同大学研究团队的合作。该小组共同设计并开展了一项针对至少5万名美国成年人的大型抽样调查。这项调查测量了人口统计、意见和态度。非常大的样本量使研究人员有足够的数据来研究各州以及整个国家。CCES于2006年启动，以极低的成本向所有人开放一个调查平台。自启动以来，该项目涉及100多个不同的研究团队和数百名教师和学生研究人员，并对25万多名美国成年人进行了采访。该项目的数据被研究人员、记者和公众广泛用于了解民意。该学科的数据基础设施项目很少（如果有的话）能像CCES那样吸引如此多的机构和学者参与。这项调查有助于建立和维持对调查设计和公众舆论感兴趣的研究人员的网络。2018年的CSES是由一个研究团队联盟开发的。每个希望参与该项目的研究团队都从同一家公司购买一份1000人的抽样调查。每个小组决定其调查中一半的问题。另一半内容（公共内容）由设计委员会从参与的团队中选出。公共内容由每个团队想要测量的问题或具有广泛兴趣并需要非常大样本的问题组成。因此，该项目进行了尽可能多的调查，因为有团队，也产生了一个单一的大样本调查，包括公共内容。共同内容是由一个委员会与参与调查的所有小组协商后设计的。该调查将通过互联网进行，样本将具有全国代表性。每个团队将从自己的1000人调查中获得数据，并从共同内容调查中获得由50,000多个观察结果组成的数据集。通过将各州的选举结果与每个州的子样本的调查结果进行比较，来验证调查数据。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2018 CCES is a collaboration of over 50 different university research teams throughout the United States. Collectively this group designs and fields a large sample survey of at least 50,000 American adults. The survey measures demographics, opinions, and attitudes. The very large sample size allows researchers to have sufficient data to study states as well as the entire nation. The CCES, which started in 2006, makes available at very low cost a survey platform that is open to all. Since its inception, the project has involved more than 100 different research teams and hundreds of faculty and student researchers, and it has conducted interviews with over 250,000 American adults. The data from this project are used widely by researchers, journalists, and members of the public to understand public opinion. Few, if any, data infrastructure ventures in the discipline can boast participation from as many institutions and scholars as CCES has facilitated. The survey helps to create and sustain a network of researchers interested in survey design and public opinion.The 2018 CSES is developed by a consortium of research teams. Each research team that wishes to be involved in the project purchases a 1,000-person sample survey from the same firm. Each individual team determines half of the questions on its survey. The other half of the content (Common Content) is created by a design committee, drawn from the participating teams. Common Content consists of questions that every team would like to measure or questions that are of broad interest and require a very large sample. The project, thus, fields as many surveys as there are teams and also produces a single large sample survey that consists of the Common Content. The Common Content is designed by a committee in consultation with all teams involved in the survey. The survey will be fielded over the Internet, with samples constructed to be nationally representative. Each team will receive the data from its own 1,000-person survey and a dataset consisting of the 50,000+ observations from the Common Content survey. Survey data are validated using comparisons of state level election results to the survey results from the subsamples for each state.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
