topic using data from the ICPSR General Archive
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/access/index.jsp>  or

<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/partners/archives.jsp> .

using data from the Integrated Fertility Survey Series
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/IFSS/> .

data from the Resource Center for Minority Data.

The purpose of these competitions is to highlight student research
papers using IFSS, RCMD, or ICPSR data. The objective is to encourage
students to explore the social sciences by means of critical analysis of
a topic supported by quantitative analysis of a dataset(s) held within
ICPSR, IFSS, or the RCMD archive and presented in written form.
Undergraduates or master's competition entries could be papers written
for a capstone course, a senior seminar, or any writing intensive course
for which the student uses quantitative data analysis to support or
refute a hypothesis. A master's thesis could be appropriate provided
that the terms above are met. 

 

Competitions awards are $1,000 for first place and $750 for second
place. The deadline for submission is January 31, 2012. For more
information, submission guidelines, and promotional posters, please

share this exciting opportunity with your faculty and students!

 

Best regards,
