Thank you for your support! We appreciate your patience as you wait for your next paid survey. All of our surveys are vetted by an ethics committee, known as an Institutional Review Board, which is why research surveys take longer to produce than the typical marketing ones.
In between those longer paid surveys, you will receive invites to participate in mini surveys, usually a couple simple questions that give members chances to win gift cards through a raffle. We look forward to providing you with more survey opportunities in the near future and our shared efforts to help advance science for the common good.

NSASS
Earlier this year, several panel members participated in the National Sports and Society Survey (NSASS), a landmark survey of U.S. adults that collects information on sports-related attitudes and the dimensions and contexts of sports involvement experiences.
Dr. Chris Knoester is the NSASS principal investigator and the research chair of the Sports and Society Initiative (SSI) at Ohio State. SSI will be hosting the event: ‘When Sports End’ on April 11th where Dr. Knoester will present research based on NSASS data. The event also includes featured speakers, Greg Oden (NBA) and Joshua Perry (NFL). Dr. Knoester's talk is open to the public. Register here for the event.
Thank you to members who have shared their sports-related insights and experiences with Dr. Knoester and the American Population Panel. It’s your participation that allows us to help advance scientific research.
