If you would like to propose questions to be included in a multi-wave
panel survey of a representative national sample of American adults (at
no cost to you), now is the time to submit them to the American National
Election Studies (ANES) review process.

For the 2007-2009 ANES Panel Study, we will interview a panel of
respondents (1,800 people initially) six times between September 2007,
and May 2009. The questionnaires for these surveys can be filled with
any questions that will help scholars understand the causes or
consequences of people's decisions about whether or not to vote in the
2008 election and for whom to vote. The schedule of reinterviews will
allow researchers to study changes in individuals' attitudes, beliefs,
behavior, and more, and to study causal impact of one variable on
another.

The data will be collected via self-administered questionnaires
completed over the Internet, and the panel of respondents will be
recruited especially to participate in this study. The entire data set
will be made available to all interested scholars at no cost.

The questions to be included on the six waves will be selected through a
public and transparent peer review process.  Proposals will be accepted
only via the ANES Online Commons (OC), a web-based system for the
posting and review of proposals:

http://www.electionstudies.org/onlinecommons.htm

There are only 41 days left to submit a proposal to include questions on
the first waves of the 2007-2009 ANES Panel Study.  The deadline for
submitting proposals is January 31, 2007, after which the OC will remain
open for a short period to allow comments and proposal revisions to be
posted.

As of right now, the questionnaires are wide open. This is the largest
open opportunity in years to place questions on an ANES study.  We thank
NSF for making this possible and hope to be able to accommodate your
proposal in this study.

Sincerely,

Jon Krosnick and Arthur Lupia
