Winthrop University’s polling laboratory has accepted two significant state contracts totaling 3.4 million dollars. The center will start work this winter on two contracts with the state health department, one valued at $2.38 million over five years and the other at $800,000 over four years.
This development means the polling operation, formerly called the Social and Behavior Research Lab will conduct 12 additional surveys per year. The polling laboratory is widely known for its work on the Winthrop Poll.
