Based on the structure and history of the ANES, how should the student propose to structure their institutional relationships and design the starting point of their study?
Case context: A research methods student is designing a proposal for a long-term study to continuously monitor civic engagement across several decades. The student wants to model their institutional partnership structure and evolutionary design after the American National Election Studies (ANES) described in their textbook.
Question: Based on the structure and history of the ANES, how should the student propose to structure their institutional relationships and design the starting point of their study?
Sample answer: The student should propose a collaborative partnership between two major universities, similar to the Stanford University and University of Michigan collaboration. Additionally, the student should design the project to collect continuous data by building directly upon a foundational initial survey, just as the ANES evolved from the first national election survey conducted by the Survey Research Center in 1948.
Key points:
- Collaborative partnership between universities modeled after Stanford and the University of Michigan
- Continuous data collection design rather than an isolated snapshot
- Evolution from a foundational baseline survey modeled after the 1948 Survey Research Center project
Rubric: Grading criteria: 1. Proposes a multi-university collaboration model, drawing from the Stanford and University of Michigan partnership (1 point). 2. Recommends building the continuous research project directly upon a foundational initial survey (1 point).
