The Survey Research Program provides CERPA critical capacity to conduct research and analyses on current social and economic issues. Survey research has contributed to a number of CERPA projects, such as estimating the benefits of arts and culture in local economies, assessing the preferences for off-shore wind turbines in North Carolina, and investigating the impacts of scenic highway designations. CERPA maintains a computer assisted telephone survey laboratory, while also having the ability to conduct mail- and web-based surveys.
