The Andrew Kohut Fellowship in Public Opinion & Survey Research honors the memory of Andrew Kohut and his numerous contributions to the science and art of survey research.
Kohut Fellows will (1) engage in their own original public opinion-focused research project using data from the Roper Center archives; (2) Publish a post on the Roper Center Blog that summarizes the research results and experience, (3) learn about the methods and techniques of survey research and other forms of public opinion research, analysis, and dissemination; and (4) devote roughly 10 hours a week on a Roper Center archive-related project(s) at a level appropriate to their abilities, training and educational goals.
Kohut Fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend for the summer.
