Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2008, CSR is in the process of expansion. As of July 1, 2000, CSR became a unit of the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at U.Va. At that time, CSR moved to larger and newer quarters near the Central grounds, and  increased the size of its 14-station CATI lab to 23 stations. In January 2004, CSR's organizational relationship with Weldon Cooper was externalized as the two organizations relocated into a larger building together. The new CATI lab has been upgraded to run Sawtooth's latest software, SensusWeb, which fully integrates telephone and web survey data collection. CSR has set as its strategic goal for the next three years the development of survey products for state agencies and local governments in Virginia, while continuing its more academically visible projects.

Several part-time positions in the Center have been upgraded or made full-time as part of these expansions. The Director (a tenured member of the U.Va. faculty) has been upgraded to a 12-month appointment with a minimal teaching commitment. Our full-time staffing includes, in addition to the Director and Assistant Director: a Senior Research Director, a Fiscal Technician, a Survey Operations Manager, a Senior Research Analyst, as well as a full-time Research Analyst. Augmenting this core staff are several part-time programmer/analysts, several part-time project coordinators (some with faculty appointments), part-time project assistants, part-time CATI lab shift supervisors, interviewers and office interns.

For further information
