Over the next few years, ICPSR is pursuing technology development charged with revolutionizing the way data are ingested, described, preserved, and shared. Technology development like this must be driven by the people that use it. You and people you know are those people!

ICPSR is assembling a User Experience (UX) Testing Panel and invites you to join our team! We are collecting information that will enable us to contact individuals when we have technologies to test from initial design feedback to testing of a digital gadget just prior to launch.

Some notes on the process:
-This form will help us direct the appropriate opportunity(s) your way; additional screening may be necessary for each specific test
-Testing is generally for ICPSR internal development purposes but more information will be available that is specific to each test
-This is a multi-year process, so you may not hear from us for some time
-Our intention is not to overburden you with invitations; we will manage this sample/panel accordingly!
-You can, of course, ask for removal from this sample at any time
-We encourage you to share this invitation link to others with data experience/familiarity

We hope you will join the ICPSR UX Testing Panel and become part of the data infrastructure legacy we will build together!
