Join the CMPS Scholars Research Network

The CMPS is more than a pioneering survey. Using the collaborative, inclusive model of resource-sharing we developed in 2016 and 2020, the 2024 CMPS expands research and professional development opportunities for underrepresented, under-resourced, and/or first generation faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral scholars.  We work with a diverse group of scholars from research universities to liberal arts colleges, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The CMPS Scholars Research Network continues to invest time, resources and mentorship to a multidisciplinary group of scholars with limited or no travel budget for research conferences, workshops and writing retreats to advance collaborations, publications, and grant writing opportunities.

The deadline to express your intent to purchase survey content on the 2024 CMPS has passed. However, you can still purchase a data use license as a 2024 CMPS Collaborator. Collaborator licensees are scholars who purchase access to the data but do not add question content on the survey. Collaborators get access to the FULL survey and data products. Collaborators also get access to an appended dataset with a variety of Census and other aggregate-level data, including vote history information for registered voters. There are two types of Collaborator licenses: (1) individual collaborator and (2) research teams with a faculty lead. 

If you are interested in purchasing a Collaborator license, please contact us as soon as possible at cmpsurveycoop@gmail.com, as the number of licenses available is limited.
