Call for Proposals - Measurement of Entrepreneurship & Innovation in U.S.

May 13, 2008

Proposals to Advance Measurement of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the United States, 2008 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data - proposals due May 13, 2008.

The 2007 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data brought together over 100 researchers and data providers to examine thirty-eight new and recently updated data sets. While the availability of these data sets is exciting and promising for research, substantial gaps exist in our knowledge bout innovation and entrepreneurship remain. One path for advancing our current understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation is to enhance existing data collection efforts through such means as adding questions, revising existing ones, and modifying methodologies.

The Kauffman Foundation will host the 2008 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data in order to provide a forum for proposing and discussing changes in data collection efforts. As with the 2007 event, researchers, data providers, and policy analysts will be invited. The Symposium will be held in November 2008 in Washington, DC.

In preparation for the Symposium, the Kauffman Foundation seeks to commission a series of short papers proposing incremental changes in existing U.S.-based data efforts that would significantly advance the study of entrepreneurship and innovation over the next five years.</blockquote>Full call for proposals is here.
