Contents of SOEP-IS
*******************


SOEP-IS is based on an evaluation conducted by the German Council of Science and Humanities. is a longitudinal sample for particularly innovative survey methods and behavioral experiments. * will be further developed in the period from 2012 to 2017 and should be fully developed by 2017.

A two-step module of Governance is established to regulate topics and question modules: first, the SOEP survey management runs a basic methodological test to establish whether the size, format, and survey mode outlined in a proposal seem appropriate for implementation in the SOEP-IS. The SOEP Survey Committee then checks the content of proposals received and prioritizes these for selection purposes. Information about the SOEP Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS) in general and about the application process is published in: `Schmollers Jahrbuch 135 (3), 389-399 by Jürgen Schupp and David Richter <https://doi.org/10.3790/schm.135.3.389>`_ 

**SOEP Innovation Sample – at a Glance** 

SOEP-IS... :

- is based on the evaluation conducted by the Science Council.
- will establish a longitudinal sample for particularly innovative survey methods and behavioral experiments.
- will be established in the period from 2012 to 2017 and should be fully developed by 2017.
- annual field time will be September to December of each year.
- the first wave in the first subsample of the SOEP-IS has been started in September 2011, with a newly developed core questionnaire "SOEP Innovations" and new methods to measure gender stereotypes.
- overall volume and costs of the surveys to be conducted in the SOEP-IS will be lower than if "fresh" samples were used: central household and individual characteristics, invariant over time, are already available and will not have to be collected again.
