The Survey of State Government Research and Development measures the extent of R&D activity performed and funded by the governments of each of the nation’s 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (collectively, states). By employing consistent, uniform definitions and collection techniques, the survey allows collection of state R&D expenditures data that are comparable nationwide. The survey is a census of state government departments, agencies, commissions, public authorities, and dependent entities with R&D activities. This dataset includes Survey of State Government Research and Development assets for 2022.

The data set contains the survey questions used to evaluate the Open Government Data-Citizen Engagement Model (OGD-CEM). Two versions of the questionnaire were uploaded: one in English and another one in Indonesian. The questionnaire was used to collect data from international open data users to understand the factors that influence their intention to engage with OGD. It is a supplement of the dissertation titled "Citizen Engagement with Open Government Data: A Model for Analyzing Factors Influencing Citizen Engagement."

The Survey of Federal Employees is the Office of Personnel Management's first major survey of the work force since 1983.

The COVID-19 Guidance Questionnaire The COVID-19 Guidance Questionnaire is published on Government website. The opinion he provides has no medical value: its goal is to direct the respondent according to his or her health and symptoms towards the right behavior to adopt. The algorithm used to propose guidance is in line with documentation published by the Ministry of Solidarity and Health, which reference also other solutions that comply with it. ### Data from the COVID-19 Guidance Questionnaire This data is published in open data to inform about the number of times the questionnaire has been completed to the end as well as the guidance messages sent. Data are grouped by week, department and age group. For each week/department/age class are indicated the number of responses obtained, the number of referrals to the UAS, the number of referrals to a consultation, and the number of messages indicating that the respondent should stay at home and monitor their health. The published ‘csv’ file will be updated weekly by adding the new data. The questionnaire was offline on 27 January 2021, so data runs until 26 January 2021.

The City of Norfolk is committed to using data to inform decisions and allocate resources. An important source of data is input from residents about their priorities and satisfaction with the services we provide. Norfolk last conducted a citywide survey of residents in 2022.

To provide up-to-date information regarding resident priorities and satisfaction, Norfolk contracted with ETC Institute to conduct a survey of residents. This survey was conducted in May and June 2024; surveys were sent via the U.S. Postal Service, and respondents were given the choice of responding by mail or online. This survey represents a random and statistically valid sample of residents from across the city, including each Ward. ETC Institute monitored responses and followed up to ensure all sections of the city were represented. Additionally, an opportunity was provided for residents not included in the random sample to take the survey and express their views. This dataset includes all random sample survey data including demographic information; it excludes free-form comments to protect privacy. It is grouped by Question Category, Question, Response, Demographic Question, and Demographic Question Response. This dataset will be updated every two years.

This dataset includes qualitative and quantitative responses from 8212 participants in a 19-question questionnaire that was available via open.canada.ca from October 2017 to March 2018.

Abstract

The International City/County Management Association conducts surveys on local government practices and policies, independently and with partners, including Form of Government (FOG) surveys. Form of government refers to the legal structure under which municipalities and counties in the United States organize (for example, the council-manager vs. the mayor-council form of government). The topic also refers to governance issues and how a local government operates. The Municipal Form of Government (FOG) surveys cover form of government, initiatives for referenda and recall, and the selection and composition of elected officials in cities/municipalities. The survey is conducted once every five years.

Methodology

ICMA’s database of local governments includes approximately 11,000 U.S. municipalities and 2,900 U.S. counties with populations of 2,500 or greater, as well as a majority of municipalities and counties with populations under 2,500 (https://icma.org/survey-research). The county or municipal clerk responds to the Form of Government survey.

Usage

Available documentation is contained in zip files labelled by survey year (see Supporting Files). Documentation will always include the survey instrument; where available, documentation may also include codebooks and response rates.

Abstract

ICMA and Cornell University partnered on this survey to gain a better understanding of local government policies, programs, and other activities related to immigrant populations in their communities.

Methodology

ICMA’s database of local governments includes approximately 11,000 U.S. municipalities and 2,900 U.S. counties with populations of 2,500 or greater, as well as a majority of municipalities and counties with populations under 2,500 (https://icma.org/survey-research).

The survey was distributed in the spring of 2018 to chief administrative officers of all municipalities with a population over 10,000 and counties of all populations across the United States. It was completed by 1,201 local governments, yielding an overall response rate of 17% with a 3% margin of error. Not all respondents answered every question.

The 2020 Public Service Employee Survey (PSES) was administered by Advanis, on behalf of the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board of Canada. This comprehensive survey measured federal government employees’ opinions about their engagement, leadership, workforce, workplace, workplace well-being, compensation, diversity and inclusion, and the impacts of COVID-19. The 2020 Public Service Employee Survey was conducted from November 30, 2020 to January 29, 2021. A total of 188,786 employees in 87 federal departments and agencies responded to the 2020 Public Service Employee Survey, for a response rate of 61%. The 2020 Public Service Employee Survey datasets contain the results of the survey by year (2020, 2019 and 2018) for the Public Service and departments/agencies, and the results broken down by demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender) and organizational units.

Latest edition information

For the second edition (June 2025) two new variables were added: ResponseGroup (‘Grouped predicted response (stratum for assigning paper questionnaires') and ProbPaperIn2ndReminder (‘P(allocated to get paper in second reminder). These variables support research into mode-specific measurement effects.

The Survey Futures project, funded by the ESRC, includes a strand concerned with the issue of mode-specific measurement effects. One of the surveys that would provide important information to support this strand is the CLS 2020-2021, because it included an experiment whereby addresses were probabilistically allocated to either receive or not receive paper questionnaires in one of the reminder mailings. The addition of the two new variables supports this research.
