This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Cooperative Congressional Election Study is a collaboration of research teams from over 50 universities and colleges. Collectively these research teams have fielded national, stratified-sample surveys of 35,000 persons in 2006 and 37,000 persons in 2008. In addition the project has produced a 10,000-person panel in 2006 and 2007 and a 2,000-person panel in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Each research team involved in the project purchases a 1,000-sample survey from a firm (the same firm for all teams, to be determined through a competitive bid in 2009). Each individual team determines half of the questions on its survey (called Team Content). The CCES PI (Stephen Ansolabehere) and a design committee, drawn from the participating teams, determines the other half of the questions (called Common Content). Common Content consists of questions that every team would like to measure, such as voting behavior and electoral experiences, or questions that are of broad interest and require a very large sample. The project fields as many surveys as there are teams and also produces a single very large sample survey that consists of the Common Content. The 2010 study projects to have 35 to 40 teams.This grant requests funding (1) to purchase additional cases in order to reduce the costs to the individual teams for the 2010 study, especially for those lacking sufficient research funds, (2) to purchase educational modules to be designed by students in the MIT/Harvard PORTL seminar, at the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute and at the NSF-sponsored summer EITM institute, (3) to pay for vote validation for all cases, and (4) to provide general research support to coordinate the project and the team?s activities.The CCES provides a common survey platform that facilitates individual teams? research agendas at a relatively low survey cost and yields a common survey of broad interest to political scientists. The 2010 CCES will produce three-dozen smaller surveys, exploring a vast range of research questions. The Common Content survey examines individual voting behavior in congressional and state elections. The large size of this survey allows researchers to measure how voting behavior varies across political geography, such as state and district, and across social contexts. The scale of the survey also allows researchers to study electoral experiences, difficulties and barriers to participation, and satisfaction with the voting process.Beyond the contribution of the research to knowledge, the 2010 CCES will have four broader impacts. First, the project creates and supports a broad network of scholars and facilitates exchange of ideas and research. The project is open to anyone working at or with a research institution. The data, questionnaires, and research papers produced by the CCES are distributed for free through the project?s website and at an annual conference. Second, the project provides a survey platform for faculty and students who do not normally have access to a survey research center. Over the past three years, more than 150 faculty and students from a very broad range of universities and colleges have gained hands-on experience writing questions, designing survey instruments, and developing experiments through the CCES. Third, this grant supports three educational modules to facilitate graduate and undergraduate instruction and will yield educational materials for use in teaching survey research and political behavior. These materials will be distributed through the project website. Fourth, the study involves many underserved groups, through the National Conference of Black Political Scientists, the Ralph Bunche Summer Institute, and individual research teams throughout the country.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。合作国会选举研究是来自50多名大学和学院的研究团队的合作。这些研究团队在2006年对35,000人进行了全国性的样本调查和2008年的37,000人进行了分层样本调查。此外，该项目在2006年和2007年进行了10,000人组成的小组，并在2006年，2006年和2008年进行了一个2,000人组成的小组。每个研究团队都从一家公司中竞争了1,000个项目，该项目涉及该公司的2000年（竞争竞争），该公司的竞争者均可竞争过200家，该公司竞争了所有竞争者，该团队竞争了所有的竞争者。每个团队确定其调查中的一半问题（称为团队内容）。 CCES PI（Stephen Ansolabehere）和由参与团队提取的设计委员会确定了另一半问题（称为共同内容）。共同的内容包括每个团队想要衡量的问题，例如投票行为和选举经验，或广泛兴趣且需要大量样本的问题。项目领域与团队一样多次调查，还会产生一项由共同内容组成的非常大的样本调查。 2010年的研究项目将有35至40个团队。这笔赠款要求资金（1）购买其他案例，以降低各个团队的成本，特别是对于那些缺乏足够的研究基金的人，（2）购买教育模块，由MIT/Harvard Portl的学生设计，以在MIT/Harvard Portl summer summer Summer Institute和Ralph Bunder summer Summer Summer Summer and Summer Summer and Summer（3级）付费（3）。所有情况以及（4）提供一般研究支持以协调项目和团队的活动。CCE提供了一个促进各个团队的常见调查平台？研究议程的调查成本相对较低，并引起了政治科学家的广泛兴趣调查。 2010年的CCE将进行三个较小的调查，并探讨各种研究问题。普通内容调查研究了国会和州选举中的个人投票行为。这项调查的范围很大，研究人员可以衡量在政治地理（例如州和地区）以及社会环境中的投票行为如何变化。调查的规模还使研究人员可以研究选举经验，参与的困难和障碍以及对投票过程的满意。研究研究对知识的贡献，2010年的CCE将产生四个更广泛的影响。首先，该项目创建并支持广泛的学者网络，并促进思想和研究的交流。该项目向在研究机构或研究机构工作的任何人开放。 CCE制作的数据，问卷和研究论文通过项目网站和年度会议免费分发。其次，该项目为通常无法进入调查研究中心的教职员工和学生提供了一个调查平台。在过去的三年中，来自非常广泛的大学和大学的150多名教师和学生获得了动手的经验，经验丰富了编写问题，设计调查工具以及通过CCE开发实验。第三，该赠款支持三个教育模块，以促进研究生和本科教学，并将产生教育材料，用于教学调查研究和政治行为。这些材料将通过项目网站分发。第四，这项研究涉及许多服务欠缺的团体，通过黑人政治科学家，拉尔夫·邦奇夏季学院和全国各地的个人研究团队。
