The Survey Research Center was established in 1999 with the dedicated mission to promote social survey research in Chinese societies through educating and training social survey researchers, building quantitative data archives for longitudinal research, and serving as an international forum and home for scholarly exchanges. With a central allocation grant awarded by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong, and, in collaboration with the Renmin University of China, the Center conducts the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), an annual/biennial data-collection project in the Chinese mainland. The 2003 CGSS is already open for use to the academic community, with other years' CGSS datasets soon become publicly available.
