  • 1.  Data Enclave Opening: NIST/ATP Innovation and Kauffman Foundation Data to be available

    Posted 06-19-2007 14:00
    The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Advanced Technology
    Program (ATP), the Kauffman Foundation and the National Opinion Research
    Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago are pleased to announce the
    opening of a new data enclave (http://dataenclave.norc.org).

    The data enclave will:
    (1) Promote secure researcher access to data that can be used to examine
    entrepreneurship and firm-level behavior,
    (2) Develop a research community of professors, graduate students, and
    institutional researchers interested in business behavior and innovation, and
    (3) Promote top quality research while protecting the confidentiality of
    business information.

    For over 15 years ATP (http://www.atp.nist.gov/) has funded and monitored
    firms in creating and commercializing advanced technology. ATP has created a
    unique source of innovation data that researchers can use to study:
    • Entrepreneurship and innovation
    • Early stage technology development
    • Commercialization of high-risk R&D.

    The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City is a private,
    nonpartisan foundation that works with partners to advance entrepreneurship
    in America and improve the education of children and youth. The Kauffman
    Firm Survey (KFS), currently in its third round of collection, is a panel
    survey of new firms. 4,931 businesses that started in 2004 were surveyed as
    part of the baseline study, with 88% retention of the panel in year 2. The
    first two rounds of data from the KFS will be released in November through
    the NORC Data Enclave and also through a public-use file. More information
    on the KFS and its release will be available at the 2007 Kauffman Symposium
    on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data (www.kauffman.org/datasymposium).

    In the first phase of the enclave, we will provide access to a limited
    number of research groups, as we optimize the procedures and processes for
    secured access to ATP data. These initial members will receive an early
    opportunity to publish findings from these data, substantial data
    assistance, and a greater opportunity to influence enclave content and
    procedures. The ATP program is also considering providing scholarships to a
    limited number of graduate students and junior researchers who wish to work
    with the data. Access to Kauffman Foundation data will be made available in
    November.

    The deadline to apply for inclusion in the initial phase is August 31, 2007.
    For those not accepted in the initial phase, a second phase will be
    announced in the fall of this year.

    More information about the data enclave is available at
    http://dataenclave.norc.org/. You may also contact Tim Mulcahy, the Program
    Manager, at 202-223-3789. To get on the mailing list for updates about the
    data enclave or on scholarship availability, please register at
    dataenclave@NORC.org.

    We also invite you to attend two events at the Academy of Management annual
    meetings in August:
    • An information reception at the Philadelphia Marriot on August 5, 2007
    6:30 – 8:30 pm, sponsored by the Kauffmann Foundation
    • A symposium entitled “New Approaches to Accessing Confidential Business
    Data” on Monday, August 6, 2007 currently scheduled for 8:30 – 10:20 am at
    the Philadelphia Marriott, Franklin 12.

    Remember, if you wish to be part of the initial phase, you must apply before
    August 31, 2007.

    If anyone is interested in this, I have "on the job" experience as a member of the source evaluation boards for many years including the one in progress. So I have read numerous proposals from industry applicants, listened to many oral interviews, helped select award winners, debriefed those who were unsuccessful, and even visited some of the projects back several years ago. I would love to work with someone to research these organizations.

    Hi


    Thanks for this.  I'll let the people who have already contacted me know – and thanks for letting the listserv know!

     

    My understanding from NIST/ATP is that the data are particularly valuable for research purposes since they are not only longitudinal but also have product line information.  And because researchers can use the remote access modality, they can work from their host institutions if they so wish.

     

     

    Be happy to answer any other questions of interest.

     

    Cheers - Julia
