Measures of end-user use of and level of involvement with the Southeast climate adaptation science center Phase 1 projects based on 2020-2021 web-based surveys

This dataset consists of responses to a standardized, web-based survey of project principle investigators, end-users, and SE CASC leadership. 31 project PIs responded (97% response rate). We then surveyed potential users of the 28 remaining projects using Qualtrics and SE CASC leadership to garner information about project use. Potential users included employees from federal agencies, state agencies, universities, and nongovernmental organizations. From the 28 projects, we sent surveys to 208 users, of which, 81 responded (39% response rate) from 22 projects. We did not collect any personal demographic information, so we did not conduct a nonresponse bias. Specifically, we asked respondents how they and their respective organizations used the projects. Additionally, we interviewed five current and former members of SE CASC leadership about their perception of use of the 28 projects.
