<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
Survey Research Center in the Institute for Social Research at the University
of Michigan has conducted investigator initiated, survey-based research on
theoretical and applied problems of both social and scientific importance for
almost 70 years (please see our website: <span style="font-size:9.5pt"><a href="http://www.src.isr.umich.edu/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:12pt">http://www.src.isr.umich.edu</span></a></span>).
It has over 250 research and support staff and research volumes of about $70
million per year.<span style="font-size:9.5pt"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The
center is the site of a large group of PhD level survey methodologists that
includes Fred Conrad, Mick Couper, Michael Elliott, Steve Heeringa, Sunghee
Lee, James Lepkowski, Roderick Little, Trivellore Raghunathan, Richard
Valliant, James Wagner, Zeina Mneimneh, Andy Peytchev, and Brady West.
Together they form the Survey Methodology Research Program, pursuing
cutting-edge statistical and methodological research with
investigator-initiated research grants. The center also contains the Survey Research
Operations unit, which has over 150 technical staff working on applied design
and implementation of large complex sample surveys with advanced data
collection technologies. These include large scale ongoing longitudinal
surveys, one-time complex mixed mode designs (face-to-face, web, mail,
telephone, bodily fluid samples, administrative records), and development of
large scale survey software capabilities.<span style="font-size:9.5pt"></span></p>
