The Weidenbaum Center of Washington University in St. Louis announces the creation of The American Panel Survey (TAPS).
TAPS is a panel survey in which a national probability sample of about 2000 panelists will be reinterviewed online each month, beginning in the fall of 2011. Initial plans for TAPS extend surveys for five years. Among the many virtues of the TAPS survey is the accumulation of substantial amounts of information on each respondent, the ability to analyze individual-level change, the possibility of conducting randomized experiments within the survey, including using audio and video interventions – all within the context of a state-of-art, nationally representative sample. A wide variety of social science research – not just limited to law and politics – can be conducted using TAPS.
Scholars are welcome to propose questionnaire modules to be placed on TAPS, including survey experiments. Details on the panel, pricing, and application process are available at http://wc.wustl.edu/node/511. Inquiries are welcome at [log in to unmask]
TAPS is co-directed by James L. Gibson and Steven S. Smith, both professors of political science at Washington University in St. Louis. Initial funding is provided by the Weidenbaum Center. TAPS is conducted in collaboration with Knowledge Networks, the leading online survey research firm.
