About Company
NORC at the University of Chicago is an objective, nonpartisan research organization that delivers insights and analysis decision-makers trust.

From groundbreaking longitudinal work like the General Social Survey to quick-turnaround studies that use our AmeriSpeak panel, NORC pursues hundreds of projects in any given year. In the process, we develop innovative research methods and analytical tools, advance principles of scientific integrity and collaboration, and support evidence-based policymaking and program development.
Our People & Culture
We Put People First
People are our strength, the foundation of our commitment to society and each other, and the key to our ongoing success.
NORC depends on people. People design our studies and drive our innovations. People gather and analyze our data. People communicate our findings in ways that maximize their impact. And most importantly, people respond to our surveys and participate in our discussion groups. Without the diverse perspectives and deep commitment of all these people—staff members, clients, partners, and respondents alike—we would not be able to produce research you can trust.
