The Bureau of Sociological Research is making plans for the 2015-2016 Nebraska Annual Social Indicators Survey. Researchers are invited to consider adding questions for their own research objectives to this survey.

This survey can be a valuable source of information regarding the opinions and behaviors of adult household residents in Nebraska.

Data collection is scheduled to begin in July 2016. Collection will end in the fall with client data and technical reports prepared by late fall 2016. In order to stay on this timeline, BOSR would like to initiate discussions with prospective clients as soon as possible and no later than May 10.

NASIS is currently a mail survey of 900 Nebraska adults completed annually. NASIS has been conducted since 1977 and is recognized by researchers, state agencies and legislators as a scientific way to measure public opinion regarding various issues that face Nebraskans.

BOSR will work with researchers interested in participating to develop items for inclusion in the survey to best suit their own needs and interests. It is a very cost effective way to obtain valuable survey data. The expense for obtaining basic demographic information is shared by all participants and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
