Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Collaborative Midterm Survey Hackathon and Data Launch<https://socialsciences.cornell.edu/funding-programs/2022-collaborative-midterm-survey?toptab=nyc_hackathon_and_data_launch&contenttab=about>. Join us in person or virtually on January 20, 2023 at Cornell Tech<https://socialsciences.cornell.edu/funding-programs/www.tech.cornell.edu/> in NYC as experts from industry, academia, and media offer their perspectives on the innovations, methods, and data from the 2022 Collaborative Midterm Survey. We are calling this a hackathon because all panelists will receive the survey data in advance and will incorporate their findings based on the data into the presentations and comments. All data and survey methods will be made publicly available at the time of the event.
You can REGISTER HERE<https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5z5gxXRrz59UmCW> for in-person or virtual attendance. This is a free event.
With generous support from the National Science Foundation, we are pleased to offer a limited number of travel grants for graduate students to attend the Hackathon and Data Launch. Graduate students should apply for travel funding here<https://cornell.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0dYP2mhGN2rjuUm>.
The NSF-funded Collaborative Midterm Survey is a multimode survey (including probability and nonprobability samples) conducted by three data collection teams selected from an open call for data collection proposals. The survey is being conducted in English and Spanish and includes questions about known population benchmarks, the Midterm elections (house, senate, gubernatorial, ballot initiatives), policy preferences, health status, racism, sexism, authoritarianism, feeling thermometer questions, new questions to measure pro-social partisan behavior and small government conservatism, and standard demographics. Read about how the survey seeks to improve the science of polling here: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2022/11/cornell-led-election-survey-seeks-improve-science-polls.
