Americorps Research Grantee Dataset

The AmeriCorps Office of Research and Evaluation provides grants to researchers, scholars, and dissertators at institutions of higher education, enabling them to engage in comprehensive studies on civic engagement, volunteering, and national service. Studies include a variety of populations and ranges from local to organizational, and national contexts throughout the United States.<br><br>This AmeriCorps Research Grantee dataset provides comprehensive information about the grantees and their studies. For each award, we identify the: 1) study title; 2) background; 3) cohort year; 4) principal investigators and their affiliated university; 5) study location(s) associated with each grant; 6) civic engagement topic areas; and 7) the research approach. Please be aware that there may be multiple rows corresponding to a single research grantee study, reflecting the various study sites where the grantee is actively involved.<br><br>Each study was thematically coded to identify their civic engagement topic areas. An individual study can be categorized into more than one group. The topic areas include:<br>• Arts &amp; Culture,<br>• Community Development,<br>• Education Across the Life Course,<br>• Youth Development,<br>• Environmental Stewardship,<br>• Health &amp; Social Wellbeing,<br>• New Americans,<br>• Economic Opportunity and Employment,<br>• Social Capital,<br>• Senior Development, and<br>• Volunteering, Nonprofit Studies, and National Service.<br><br>Additionally, the research grantees’ studies were categorized into two distinct research approaches: traditional research and participatory research.<br><br>***Microdata: Yes Level of Analysis: Group - organization/projects Variables Present: Yes File Layout: .csv Codebook: No Methods: Yes Weights (with appropriate documentation): n/a Publications: No Aggregate Data: Yes - <br>link: https://data.americorps.gov/stories/s/4353-meve _gl=1*1lfs7mo*_gcl_au*MjExOTEzNjk0OC4xNzU0NjcxMjk4

美国国民服务队（AmeriCorps）研究与评估办公室为高等教育机构中的研究人员、学者及学位论文撰写者提供资助，支持其围绕公民参与、志愿服务与国家服务开展综合性研究。研究覆盖多元人群，研究场景涵盖美国境内的地方、组织乃至国家层面。

本美国国民服务队研究受助者数据集收录了受助者及其研究项目的全面信息。针对每一项资助，数据集包含以下内容：1）研究标题；2）研究背景；3）同期队列年份；4）首席研究员及其所属高校；5）每项资助对应的研究地点；6）公民参与主题领域；7）研究方法。请注意，单个研究受助者项目可能对应多条数据记录，以反映受助者实际参与的多个研究站点。

所有研究均通过主题编码识别其公民参与主题领域，单个研究可归属于多个主题类别。主题领域包括：
• 艺术与文化（Arts & Culture）
• 社区发展（Community Development）
• 全生命周期教育（Education Across the Life Course）
• 青年发展（Youth Development）
• 环境管理（Environmental Stewardship）
• 健康与社会福祉（Health & Social Wellbeing）
• 新美国人群体（New Americans）
• 经济机遇与就业（Economic Opportunity and Employment）
• 社会资本（Social Capital）
• 老年发展（Senior Development）
• 志愿服务、非营利研究与国家服务（Volunteering, Nonprofit Studies, and National Service）

此外，研究受助者的项目被划分为两类截然不同的研究方法：传统研究（traditional research）与参与式研究（participatory research）。
