Description
This
announcement is a mechanism to engage with the research community to encourage
and promote statistical, research, and methodology activities within projects
that seek to measure perceptions, opinions, beliefs and attitudes toward the
Census Bureau. The program objectives for the 3 program priorities under this
announcement are:
1.
Formal Privacy Research, Development, and Outreach for Sample
Surveys
The
focus of this funding opportunity is to secure research and development of
formal privacy methods, including but not limited to differential privacy, for
sample surveys.
2.
Analyses of How Social Media Data and Open Source Data May Provide Greater
Insight into Public Attitudes and Perceptions
This
purpose of this research program is to explore the feasibility of open source
data, and particularly those created through social media platforms such as
Twitter, to complement or substitute opinion data from surveys and censuses. In
particular, research should develop appropriate analytic strategies that
facilitate the use of these data to meaningfully track attitudinal
trends.
3.
Address-and Probability-Based Online Panel Recruitment and
Maintenance
The
focus of this funding opportunity is to collaborate with an external body to
design, build, and maintain an online research panel that would be available for
robust public opinion and methodological research by statistical agencies and
nonprofit organizations for the common good.
