The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following workshop, sponsored by the Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS) and funded by the Directorate for Education and Human Resources of the National Science Foundation.

The Institute for Research on Innovation and Science (IRIS) is offering an introductory-level workshop for researchers in education and social science fields (ESS) interested in gaining experience working with large-scale restricted data. The goal of the workshop is to increase the ability of participants to define and develop projects that will result in competitive proposals that might be submitted to NSF or other funders. A secondary goal is to support a community of researchers who can share information, tools, and insights to help strengthen research and teaching capabilities involving large scale data analysis in ESS fields. In this hands-on class, participants will work in teams using large-scale datasets curated by IRIS to achieve a better understanding of the research questions that can be answered with big data. Datasets on the makeup of research teams will be featured.
