The Sociological Research Practicum (SRP) was an annual data collection project from 1965 to 2024. Each year, a faculty member in the Department of Sociology was chosen as the Principal Investigator (PI) to design and manage the project. The topic and type of method varied each year, reflecting the interest of the PI. The SRP began in 1965 as the Indianapolis Area Project. Read more about the SRP's history, goals, and resources. In 2024, the SRP was re-envisioned to focus on graduate students' completion of the empirical paper.
