Information
Resources for Researchers
These are resources for finding and conducting demographic research. The Data Sources information is primarily useful for finding US studies and datasets. The International, Seattle/Washington State, and UW Social Science data resources are less extensive. Data Analysis & Computing includes a number of helpful resources for quantitative data analysis, conducting research, and computing. Included under Other Resources are current funding announcements and various social science organizations.
This is an ongoing project.
