Nationscape is a multi-million dollar partnership between Chris Tausanovitch and Lynn Vavreck at UCLA, the Democracy Fund, LUCID, and other grantors. Nationscape interviews 6,250 people every week. It started in July of 2019 and will finish in January of 2021. The project will complete 500,000 interviews. The project is staffed by UCLA graduate students Aaron Rudkin, Alex Hayes, and Tyler Reny who run the entire project out of the Hoffenberg Fellows office on the fourth floor of Bunche Hall.
