Using mobile technology to collect data can save your project time and money. It may also improve data quality by reducing data entry errors and missing answers.
For these reasons, the Tobacco Control Evaluation Center makes it easy for CTPP-funded tobacco projects to conduct surveys and observations anywhere. For details on how this works, see our resources below.
If you have questions, feel free to contact the TCEC Help Desk at any time!
Any CTPP-funded project may request a local program affiliate account for Harvest Your Data as an optional tool for offline, mobile data collection. Just contact TCEC or click here for information about how to receive an affiliate account.

Borrowing a TCEC Device
If you need additional devices for your data collection efforts, we have a small fleet of Android and Apple devices that state-funded projects can borrow for short periods of time. Complete and return the loan agreement form below, and TCEC will fill orders on a first-come, first-served basis.
During peak demand (e.g., ECTC observations), lending may be limited to 5 devices at a time for 4 weeks. Ask TCEC for details.
