The Warren J. Mitofsky award is in recognition of outstanding research or reporting that uses The Roper Center's public opinion data archives. The award distinguishes important work on public opinion or survey methodology that has been published in a book, journal, magazine, or newspaper, or presented at a professional conference. Special consideration will be given to work that is based on data obtained by the researcher or author directly from the Roper archive, as well as to work that utilizes multiple data sources or compares survey results over time. Nominations were accepted during the spring of 2007 and a panel of public opinion experts led by Dr. Robert Shaprio of Columbia University will appraise the nominees and select the winner. The award takes into account both work published recently and from the past that continues to have a significant impact on our understanding of society. The award is made available by the Warren J. Mitofsky Memorial Fund and was celebrated at The Mitofsky Award Dinner on November 8, 2007 in New York. The 2007 cash prize was $1,000.
