Developing the best practices for getting the best data.

Asking the right people the right questions is the most crucial task of any comprehensive survey. And it’s our expertise at NORC’s Methodology & Quantitative Social Sciences department.

We advise on recruiting and retaining participants, framing survey questions, and analyzing responses. We also provide expertise in natural language processing, psychometrics, causal inference methods, and spatial modeling. We work with NORC colleagues and with researchers at places like the National Science Foundation and Harvard University.
