Adopt a Dataset from ICPSR
What does it mean to adopt a dataset?
Adopting a dataset is kind of like adopting a dog, except less messy (um, sometimes -- for tips about how to keep your pet nice and clean, be sure to check out our Clean Data tab on the left). Head over to the ICPSR website, fill out the Dataset Adoption Form , and then download, analyze online, or just review the summary information for your adopted data. Your role is to bring your dataset to life by learning about the information it contains and to share the information you're learning through email, social media, virtual meetings, and more.
