Request NIRSA Member Data

NIRSA supports research conducted among its membership

Researchers working to advance the profession of campus recreation can request survey participation from NIRSA members, via NIRSA’s marketing department. Here’s how:

• Fill out the intake form with details about your project.
• Members of the Recreational Sports Journal Editorial Board will review your proposal within 30 days.
• Upon approval, NIRSA staff will work with you to refine the target audience and timing of an initial request email plus one reminder. NIRSA’s marketing department will send the emails on your behalf.

Note: Researchers are highly encouraged to submit a manuscript to the Recreational Sports Journal at the completion of their research project.

Creating Target Audiences using NIRSA Membership Data

Creating Target Audiences using NIRSA Membership Data

The NIRSA membership database can be a helpful tool for researchers conducting studies in the field of campus recreation. Target audiences can generally be filtered by personal and/or professional demographics such as:

• Professional and/or student employees
• NIRSA region
• Functional job title/organizational level
• Job responsibilities

The NIRSA database does not house contact information of students who participate in specific campus recreation programs or services. If you are looking for survey participation from campus recreation participants, we recommend you target professionals in specific
roles (Sport Club, Aquatics, Fitness, etc.) who can be asked to forward the survey to a specific student population. (This may or may not be allowed on each individual campus.)

NIRSA does not provide member contact information directly to researchers.
