Here is the CMT Uptime check phrase

The University of Michigan National Survey Panel (known as M-Panel) is formed by a sample of people from across the country who were scientifically selected to share their opinions on the issues that shape American life. We reach out to our panel members to find out what they think about topics important to our society like education, health, or economy.

When we have questions about topics important to our society like education, health, or economy, we will reach out to our panel members to find out what they think.

But it is just as important to us to be clear about what M-Panel is not:

  • We are not marketers.
  • We will never disclose, sell, or publish your personal information.
  • Your participation is always voluntary.
