Only just picked this up I'm afraid ..... and I'm off to Brazil tonight for
3 weeks .....
I'd be glad to collaborate if anyone else is interested, but will not now be
back until 24th July. (I'll send the file separately to Roy Carr-Hill as he
is an obvious contender)
Good summers to all!
Thank you and Best Regards

> Dear RRB Directors,
>
> As you will be aware in April 2005 the Research Resources Board
> commissioned a Review of International Data Resources and Needs. Among
> its many recommendations, the report arising from this review drew
> attention to the paucity of accessible social and economic microdata
> resources covering certain key countries - notably for China, India,
> Mexico, Brazil and South Africa.
>
> To inform future actions to address this issue, the Board agreed to
> commission a number of scoping studies designed to establish the
> availability within these countries of social and economic microdata
> resources for research purposes.
>
> Attached is a specification for these studies against which we are
> currently inviting tenders. I would be grateful if you could look at the
> attached specification and forward it to any colleagues they feel might
> be interested / appropriate to undertake one or more of these studies.
>
> Please note the deadline for tenders is 5pm on Friday 30th June 2006.
>
> If you have any queries or problems then please feel free to contact my
> colleague Helen Haggart ([log in to unmask])
>
> Many thanks
