MEASURE

Middle East Academic Survey Research and Evaluation

MEASURE is a grant funded research tool to advise policy makers and the American public. MEASURE surveys US academics via a series of multiple choice and open questions to present an aggregate of informed opinion on timely policy issues.

MEASURE survey candidates are drawn from a pool of academics with a background in Middle East studies. All MEASURE candidates do not necessarily teach or write about contemporary Middle East issues, but are generally more informed and involved in regional issues than other members of academia.

MEASURE survey results are presented in aggregate form only. Individual responses are not made public. MEASURE survey results are presented in a timely fashion and made available to interested members of the public and press. MEASURE avoids uninvited survey responses by controlling the invitee list and discarding multiple IP addresses.
