Question:
We are getting more demand from profs and grad students for the PSES 2017, 2014 and 2011 cycle PUMFs. Is there any chance we will see any of these cycles as PUMFs? This PUMF question has probably been asked and answered, but if it could be re-asked, our researchers would very much appreciate it.
Answer:
We’ve received the following response from subject matter:
“PUMFs are only created when clients request and fund them. That has not been the case for PSES for the last few cycles. 2008 was the most recent cycle when a PUMF was created. I don’t expect that TBS (the PSES sponsor) is planning to order PUMFs for the 2011-2017 cycles.
The master files for all cycles are available in the RDCs, if that’s at all helpful for the researchers.”
