We are forwarding the following message from the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) to ensure that you are aware of the opportunity to apply for membership in a new American Community Survey (ACS) Data Products Redesign Group (DPRG). More information is below.
Accepting Applications for ACS Data Products Redesign Group
DEADLINE IS THURSDAY, OCT. 29, 2015
In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) is soliciting applications for membership in a new American Community Survey (ACS) Data Products Redesign Group (DPRG). The purpose of establishing this group is to provide the Census Bureau with an efficient and effective means to collect feedback from a broad range of ACS data users on new ACS data products and dissemination channels. This ongoing exchange will help the Census Bureau develop innovative data products and dissemination tools that best meet ACS data users’ needs. The DPRG will have approximately 20 members and will be informal and non-advisory. As such, the DPRG will not be providing the Census Bureau with consensus recommendations resulting from group deliberation or discussion.
If you are interested in being considered for membership in the ACS DPRG, please complete the online application by Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015. We will notify all applicants by mid-November when our selection process is complete. If you have questions about the DPRG or the application, please contact Linda Jacobsen, Vice President of U.S. Programs at PRB, at: ljacobsen@prb.org or at 202-939-5414.
