Description and Purpose of the Ask U.S. Panel pilot: The Ask U.S. Panel is a national survey panel by the U.S. Census Bureau. The purpose for collecting this information is to track public opinion on a variety of topics of interest to numerous federal agencies and their partners, and for conducting experimentation on alternative question wording and methodological approaches. A key objective of the Panel will be to produce representative and reliable statistics on a rapid turnaround suitable for use by federal agencies. The Panel will ensure availability of frequent data collection for nationally representative estimates on a variety of topics and a variety of subgroups of the population. The panel pilot also will test feasibility and procedures that will be used to develop and implement future panels. The pilot panel will consist of individuals and households living across the U.S., including active-duty service members and spouses of active-duty service members, that have agreed to be contacted and invited to participate in surveys led by the U.S. Census Bureau and other federal agencies, including Department of Defense (DoD).

Privacy Act Statement: The legal authority for the Ask U.S. Panel Pilot is provided under 13 U.S.C §§ 8(b), 131, 141, 161, 181, 182, and 193; 49 U.S.C. § 329; the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. §9543.

The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting this survey in partnership with the Economic Research Service of the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service of the USDA, Social Security Administration, National Center for Education Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics, Department of Labor, Department of Defense, and the Department of Transportation (partner agencies).

Personally identifiable information (PII) collected includes: Name, Address, Telephone/cell phone number, Date of Birth or age, Email address, Race or ethnicity, and Unique Identifier (Code).

Your privacy is protected by the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a).

Access to the information that you provide is restricted to authorized personnel. The information will be shared only with staff, contractors, and non-Census sponsors that are authorized and have a need to know.

Furnishing this information is voluntary. Failure to do so will result in the Census Bureau’s inability to create a robust probability-based nationwide survey panel.

Sponsor: The Ask U.S. Panel pilot is sponsored by the U.S. Census Bureau in partnership with DoD and other federal agencies. RTI International, a not-for-profit research organization, is establishing and maintaining the pilot panel on behalf of the U.S. Census Bureau and DoD.

Financial Considerations: Participation in the Ask U.S. Panel pilot will involve no cost to you. You previously received $5 in your initial invitation letter. If you complete the enrollment survey, you will receive an additional $20. Once enrolled in the panel, you will receive $10 for completing an additional 15-minute panel survey later in 2022.

Voluntary Participation: Your participation in the pilot panel is completely voluntary. While your responses are very important to us, you can refuse to answer any and all questions, or choose not to participate in future surveys. You can elect to leave the panel at any time. You may also withdraw your response at any time by contacting the panel project team.

Possible Benefits and Risks: There are no direct benefits to you for participating in the pilot panel, but your answers may help improve military policies. The potential exists for loss of privacy, though our procedures are designed to protect and secure your personal information. Please see the Privacy section above for details on the procedures in place to protect your privacy.
