Our Work
NORC’s research expertise—including conceptualization, design, implementation, and evaluation—grows out of its long history of working with government agencies, academic institutions, foundations, and a wide range of other organizations.

NORC’s staff includes rigorously trained and widely published leaders from a diverse array of fields such as economics, education, medicine, political science, psychology, public health, public policy, sociology, statistics, and the physical sciences.

With locations in Chicago and the DC Metro area, NORC’s work is enhanced by its strong collaborative relationships with prominent experts, senior government officials, and leading scholars. In addition to its significant public policy expertise, NORC also maintains a large and flexible field staff and call center to support a variety of long-term and quick-response national and international projects.
