Individuals who are recruited to participate in research studies are often asked to disclose information about their race. Some research participants, including those who do not identify with a standard reporting category, may think that their identity is not accurately captured by demographic questions. This project will develop strategies for collecting and reporting information about the race of research participants. Project findings will provide guidance to researchers so that they can ask questions in ways that are more respectful of research participants and more likely to produce accurate and reliable information about racial identity. The overarching aim of the project is to promote ethical and responsible research practices for collecting and reporting information about the racial identity of research participants. The research team plans to collect and analyze participants’ racial identity in their own words and understand their experiences of answering typical demographics questions about race. The team will draw on this information to develop and test alternative ways of asking participants about their race and for reporting that information. The team will use an on-line data collection platform with a nationally representative participant pool, as well as conduct interviews and focus groups. Guidelines for collecting and reporting participants’ racial identity, as well as strategies for disseminating the guidelines, will emerge from the project. The team also plans to collect feedback from researchers, survey professionals and other stakeholders, and refine the guidelines, which will be tailored for adoption by each group.This project is funded through the ER2 program by the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

经常要求招募参加研究的个人来披露有关其种族的信息。一些研究参与者，包括不认同标准报告类别的人，可能认为他们的身份并未被人口统计问题准确捕获。该项目将制定收集和报告有关研究参与者种族的信息的策略。项目发现将为研究人员提供指导，以便他们可以以更尊重研究参与者的方式提出问题，并且更有可能提供有关种族认同的准确和可靠的信息。该项目的总体目的是促进道德和负责任的研究实践，以收集和报告有关研究参与者种族认同的信息。研究小组计划用自己的话来收集和分析参与者的种族认同，并了解他们回答有关种族典型人口统计问题的经验。团队将利用这些信息来开发和测试替代方法，以询问参与者有关他们的种族并报告该信息。该团队将与全国代表的参与者池一起使用在线数据收集平台，并进行访谈和焦点小组。收集和报告参与者的种族身份的准则以及传播准则的策略将从该项目中出现。该团队还计划从研究人员，调查专业人员和其他利益相关者那里收集反馈，并完善指南，这些准则将由每个小组量身定制，该项目由社会，行为和经济科学局通过ER2计划资助，该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估了基础构成基金会的概念，并对其进行了评估。
