The Survey Research Methods Section (SMRS) will have a full program at the Joint Statistical Meetings while sponsoring or co-sponsoring 13 invited sessions, 18 topic-contributed sessions, seven contributed sessions, and three speed sessions. We have so many sessions that some compete with others. Prioritize the sessions you wish to attend by looking over the following list and then checking the online program for up-to-date times and locations.
