ICPSR's Autumn Byte [image: Photo of Perry Building in fall]

With a crisp chill in the air of Ann Arbor, warm apple cider, and the
brilliant colors of fall ablaze, it’s autumn at ICPSR, and time for our
fall edition of DataBytes!
The 2017 ICPSR Meeting in Review!

Over 170 attendees from 90 institutions joined us for 17+ workshops and
sessions October 11-13 for Building for a Data-Driven Future! The biennial
meeting highlighted ICPSR’s core functions, including current data
collections and data-related tools and exciting new data projects. The
meeting also imparted practical approaches and strategies to work with data
producers to share data, write data management plans, and to support
researchers seeking to reuse research data for analyses and publications.
Did you miss it? Recordings and presentation slides can be found on ICPSR’s
YouTube Channel

Membership Categories and Fees updated for Membership Period beginning July
1, 2018

At its June meeting, the ICPSR Council set membership fees
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/join.html> one year
in advance as required by the ICPSR Constitution
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/about/governance/constitution.html>.
The Council also adopted the 2015 Carnegie Classification as a means to
associate membership fees; ICPSR has been working with the 2000
classifications since 2005. More information is forthcoming and will be
provided to Official and Designated Representatives. The new fees begin on
July 1, 2018.
Save the Date: 2018 Summer Program

The ICPSR Summer Program is excited to announce its four-week session dates
with the first session beginning June 25, 2018. More information, including
workshop announcements, will become available soon. Visit the ICPSR Summer
Program website <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/index.jsp> for
the latest details!
Henry “Hank” Heitowit Scholarship: Funding Scholars’ Return to the Summer
Program

A scholarship fund has been established in honor of Hank Heitowit, who
served as Director of the Summer Program from 1981 to 2007. Every year, a
sizable number of former Summer Program participants want to come back to
the Program to strengthen their research capabilities. But, for a variety
of reasons, many are unable to do so. The Henry “Hank” Heitowit Scholars
Fund was established to help people in this situation. Learn more
<http://home.isr.umich.edu/giving/heitowit-scholars-fund/> about the Henry
“Hank” Heitowit Scholars Fund and how you can help sustain the Heitowit
Scholarship.
A Bounty of Student Opportunity!

ICPSR invites submissions for the ICPSR 2018 Research Paper Competitions
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/ICPSR/prize/index.html> for
undergraduates and master’s students. The competitions award first place cash
prizes of $1,000!
ICPSR’s Annual Report Ready for Review

ICPSR’s 2016-2017 annual report
<https://issuu.com/icpsr/docs/2015-2016-final-revised-issuu> is now
available. ICPSR started the fiscal year with a new director, Margaret
Levenstein, who reflects on her first year at the helm. The year also saw
the launch of a new data deposit system, and the DataLumos and Open Data
Flint projects, among others. It was truly a year of r(E)evolution within!
For ICPSR Members Only: An Offer from Sociometrics

Sociometrics is excited to inform the ICPSR membership that last month it
launched a new web platform for showcasing its research-based social and
behavioral health research-based products. The new website features
streamlined menus, simplified navigation, augmented search capabilities, a
responsive layout for all platforms/devices (including mobile tablets and

And a Fall, Fond Farewell

We bid a fond, fall farewell to Peter Granda, Associate Director, ICPSR, on

wonderful retirement!
