The National Data Quality Forum (NDQF) is pleased to invite you to the fourth in a series of discussions aimed to generate invigorating dialogue on data quality in India among data scientists, researchers, decision makers and innovators. We intend these to be enlivening and interactive sessions that bring us together towards developing an active data quality community of practice.  In the last three months, there have been an extraordinary number of phone-based surveys in India and elsewhere, and there will be many more in the near future. In this time of a fast-spreading epidemic, the country needs a lot of data from the ground to take appropriate policy decisions and  these phone surveys intend to provide relevant and good-quality data to the government. However, there is a growing concern that because of the pressure to produce quick results, both the science and the ethics of research are possibly being compromised. This session, where experts will discuss both the science and the ethics of phone-based surveys, will provide valuable insights on how one can ensure both. Please consider circulating this among colleagues who may be interested in topical issues on science and ethics of phone-based surveys. Date: July 2, 2020  Time: 6 PM-7:00 PM (IST)
