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.
