Deadline: January 15, 2012
As the Kauffman Foundation nears the completion of its eight-year panel study
on new firms in the United States, the Kauffman Firm Survey
(KFS) <www.kauffman.org/kfs>, they are seeking interested scholars who would
like to extend the core survey data in ways that do not increase the burden on
survey respondents.
While more than 6,000 variables are included in the confidential version of the
KFS microdata, the Kauffman Foundation recognizes that additional opportunities
for research become available by incorporating new sources of data to leverage
the existing KFS survey information. Through this grant program they hope to
accomplish the following:
* Expand the community of experts involved with the KFS to include scholars
with expertise in natural language processing, web scraping, and related
approaches;
* Create reusable infrastructure; and
* Use the prototype/demo infrastructure to evaluate the effectiveness of the
approach (missingness, accuracy, utility) to expand their understanding of
different approaches for matching to existing data sets.
Multiple projects are likely to be funded with individual project budgets up to
$50,000 being preferred.
Note, the restricted KFS data will be available to qualified researchers on
approved projects through the secure Census Bureau Research Data Center
Network<www.census.gov/ces/
Full details on this call for proposals are available on the Kauffman
Foundation website<www.kauffman.org/
