[ICPSR] [OR-Announce] Proposals Sought for Research Using NCAA Student-Athletes Data

[Mark Thompson-Kolar]

The NCAA seeks outstanding proposals for studies of issues important to
NCAA student-athletes and NCAA member institutions using data from its
Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Learning of Students in College
Study (GOALS). These data are housed in the NCAA Student-Athlete
Experiences Data Archive <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NCAA/> (
www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NCAA/) at ICPSR <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/> (
www.icpsr.umich.edu/).

In 2006, GOALS survey responses were received from more than 19,780
student-athletes representing all three divisions at 620 NCAA member
institutions. Respondents provided a range of information about their lives
as student-athletes, including:

* Academic engagement and success
* Athletics experiences
* Campus and team climate
* Career aspirations
* Health and well-being
* Social experiences
* Time commitments

In the first phase of this pilot program, the NCAA will approve data access
for a limited number of proposals. Preference will be given to high-quality
proposals that demonstrate a clear rationale and articulate specific,
testable research questions.
