Spring into ICPSR for a Bit!

It is spring in Ann Arbor and ICPSR is blossoming with many bits and  
bytes to share!



A New Archive in Bloom

ICPSR is pleased to announce its newest archive - the National  
Addiction & HIV Data Archive Program. The mission of NAHDAP is to  
facilitate research on drug addiction and HIV infection by enhancing,  
sharing, and preserving data produced by research grants funded by the  
National Institutes on Drug Abuse. The Web site will be available soon  
at www.icpsr.umich.edu/NAHDAP/

OR Toolbox - Webinar by Request

resources? Would you like an in-depth orientation to a particular data

staff will broadcast for you live!

Speaking of Spring - The ICPSR Bulletin

The Spring 2010 ICPSR Bulletin has been released! It features former  
ICPSR Director Myron Gutmann's reflections on his tenure at ICPSR, and  
a newly acquired study known as the "Mexican American Study Project"  
that ICPSR is currently processing for inclusion in our data collection.



Council News - Searching for a New Director

With the appointment of Myron Gutmann to head the National Science  
Foundation's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences Directorate,  
ICPSR has begun the search process for a new Center Director. For  
additional information on the ICPSR Center Director position, see our  
Careers and Internships page.

Thinking Spring - Planning for a Fall Fair!

Prepare to mark your calendars! ICPSR is organizing a virtual Social  
Science Data Fair! Scheduled for Fall 2010, the fair will feature  
three days of webcasts for the purpose of introducing various social  
science data archives, research projects, and teaching resources to  
the data community. Subscribe to ICPSR's email list for updates coming
