encourage the use of its archive of survey data by researchers world-wide. In addition to the web-based free access to data and to purchase arrangements, Vanderbilt is also pleased to establish "Data Repositrory agreements" with other universities. These agreements allow those universities to acquire as many data sets as might interest them for a one-time fee, so long as the repository university agrees in writing to follow U.S. Federal human subjets protection rules (IRB rules).
Institutions interested in becoming a LAPOP Data Repository should contact the LAPOP Director, Professor Mitchell A. Seligson at m.seligson@vanderbilt.edu
