Civic Health and Institutions Project

The Civic Health and Institutions Project, a 50 States Survey (CHIP50) was launched in by a multi-university group of researchers with expertise in computational social science, network science, public opinion polling, epidemiology, public health, communication, and political science. CHIP50 provides access to state-level data on citizens’ opinions and behaviors for social scientists and health researchers. This initiative leverages and transforms the COVID States Project, which has collected large-scale survey data since April 2020. The central mission of the project is to provide opportunities for researchers to submit applications for items on the survey, and, if accepted, collect data free of charge.
