[Art Burke]

Colleagues ... The site identified below makes survey data available for public use.  Data may be downloaded in R format; the site also provides R syntax files to accompany the downloaded data. Registration is required.

On another matter, in anticipation of future projects, I would like to hear from readers of this list with expertise in using R for analysis of longitudinal data and interest in collaborating on educational studies.

Subject: New public-use Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 Base Year to 2006 Second Follow-up data set released

The National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences has just released a new public-use version of the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 Base Year to 2006 Second Follow-up data files. 

The data files are available for immediate download using a new "EDAT" application on the NCES website. This application allows users to select the data that they need to perform analyses in one of six statistical programming languages.

To access EDAT, please visit

Once you arrive in the EDAT application, enter your email address and create a password.  This will give you access to the application and provide you with space for sharing tag files.
