The Bureau of Sociological Research has invited researchers to consider adding questions for their own research objectives to the 2020 Winter Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey.

Data collection is scheduled to begin January 2020 with client data delivered by May 2020. In order to stay on this timeline, BOSR would like to initiate discussions with prospective clients as soon as possible and no later than Nov. 1.

Costs are estimated to be $7,500 a page this year. NASIS is a mail survey of around 1,000 Nebraska adults historically completed annually. It has been conducted since 1977 and is recognized by researchers, state agencies and legislators as a scientific way to measure public opinion and behaviors regarding various issues that face Nebraskans.

BOSR works with researchers interested in participating to develop items for inclusion in the survey to best suit researchers’ needs and interests. It is a very cost-effective way to obtain valuable survey data because the expense for obtaining basic demographic information (such as age, sex, family, employment, etc.) is shared by all participating researchers.

If you are interested in participating, or simply have questions about possible involvement, please contact Lindsey Witt-Swanson.
