COVID-19 upended social, economic, and political systems throughout the world. The United States has faced particular challenges due to its heterogeneity and federal nature. The COVID States project is a large-scale data collection that includes over-time data from diverse state-level samples. The project tracks state-level post-pandemic recovery, studying topics such as trust in institutions, information acquisition and impact, accountability, and economic inequality. It also documents how federal and state policies affect the populace when it comes to these topics. Further, the COVID States project provides access to researchers from all backgrounds, types of academic institutions, and career stages through a competition for survey module time and provides a user-friendly website with data trackers for use by researchers, students, journalists, policymakers, and the public.The COVID States project conducts over-time state-level surveys from all 50 states and D.C. Each survey includes up to 30,000 total respondents, using quota sampling by state. This allows for generalizable inferences at the state and national levels. Post-pandemic data provide an unprecedented opportunity for novel over-time and across-space research designs. The project over-samples demographic minority respondents to facilitate study of heterogeneous social groups. This includes data on trust in political figures and institutions, knowledge and information, political evaluations, behavioral adaptation, physical health, economic well-being, mental health, and more. It also contains detailed social network batteries that allow for the study of inter-household and inter-group transmission of health and information. This is complemented by Twitter data from survey respondents who allow it. This enables the project to identify information sharing and study political discourse.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

COVID-19颠覆了世界各地的社会、经济和政治制度。由于其异质性和联邦性质，美国面临着特殊的挑战。COVID States项目是一个大规模的数据收集项目，包括来自不同州一级样本的长期数据。该项目跟踪国家一级的疫情后复苏，研究对机构的信任、信息获取和影响、问责制和经济不平等等主题。它还记录了在这些主题方面，联邦和州政策如何影响民众。此外，COVID States项目通过竞争调查模块时间，为来自所有背景、类型的学术机构和职业阶段的研究人员提供访问机会，并提供一个用户友好的网站，提供数据跟踪器，供研究人员、学生、记者、政策制定者、和公众。COVID州项目在所有50个州和哥伦比亚特区进行了长期的州一级调查。每次调查包括多达30,000名受访者，按州进行配额抽样这允许在州和国家一级进行可推广的推论。大流行后的数据为新的跨时间和跨空间研究设计提供了前所未有的机会。该项目对人口统计学上的少数民族答卷人进行了过度抽样，以便于对不同社会群体进行研究。这包括对政治人物和机构的信任、知识和信息、政治评估、行为适应、身体健康、经济福祉、心理健康等方面的数据。它还包含详细的社会网络电池，以便研究家庭间和群体间的健康和信息传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
