ICPSR Data Communication Scholarship at University of Michigan 2024/25

ICPSR Research Paper Competition is a research paper competition for graduates and undergraduates at member institutions. The competition has undergone significant changes to better reflect what students are being asked to complete in an era of more imaginative, less standard assignments. After seeing the video, students should be able to navigate and search ICPSR, locate data of interest, and use the information supplied for each research to evaluate potential applications for the data.
