Working with NORC

​NORC subcontracts selected data collections, analytic, information technology, and support services to firms with the appropriate specialized expertise. We partner with organizations familiar with federal contracting and the requirements of social science and public policy research—including qualified small businesses, woman- and minority-owned businesses, and certified HUBZone businesses​.​​ More

​NORC employs an interdisciplinary, team-based approach and offers many ways for clients to collaborate with its experts on projects of varying degrees of complexity, scope, and budget. Federal and certain other agencies can take advantage of NORC’s federal supply schedule under the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services (MOBIS) program operated by the General Services Administration, as well as other federal master order agreements. More

​If you have been contacted by an NORC researcher and asked to respond to a survey we hope that you’ll participate. We are an independent research organization affiliated with the University of Chicago studying important issues like employment, education, and health care. When you participate in our research, you are making your experiences, opinions, and concerns known to decision makers, government leaders, and policy makers. ​​ More
