2018 CSES

2018年CCES是美国50多个不同大学研究团队的合作。 这个小组共同设计并实地调查了至少5万名美国成年人。该调查衡量人口统计数据，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国家以及整个国家。2006年启动的CCES以极低的成本提供了一个向所有人开放的调查平台。 自成立以来，该项目已涉及100多个不同的研究团队和数百名教师和学生研究人员，并与超过25万美国成年人进行了访谈。该项目的数据被研究人员、记者和公众广泛使用，以了解公众舆论。很少有（如果有的话）学科中的数据基础设施企业可以像CCES促进的那样拥有如此多的机构和学者的参与。该调查有助于建立和维持一个对调查设计和民意感兴趣的研究人员网络。2018年CSES由一个研究团队联盟开发。 每个希望参与该项目的研究小组都从同一家公司购买了1,000人的抽样调查。 每个小组决定其调查中的一半问题。另一半内容（公共内容）由设计委员会创建，该委员会来自参与团队。 公共内容由每个团队都想衡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，该项目的实地调查数量与团队数量一样多，并且还产生了一个由共同内容组成的单一大型抽样调查。 共同内容由一个委员会与参与调查的所有团队协商设计。 调查将通过互联网进行，抽样将具有全国代表性。 每个团队都将收到来自自己的1,000人调查的数据和一个由来自共同内容调查的50,000多个观察结果组成的数据集。 调查数据通过比较州一级的选举结果和每个州的子样本调查结果进行验证。该奖项反映了NSF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.
