NORC (full name: National Opinion Research Center) is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan social science research institution affiliated with the University of Chicago. Founded in 1941, it has a history of more than 80 years. Its core business is to provide objective research, data analysis and policy evaluation services for government agencies, enterprises and non-profit organizations around the world. Its outputs are widely used to support public decision-making and academic research.
NORC's research covers multiple fields including economics, education, global health, public affairs, and social culture. It runs more than 500 research projects simultaneously every year, and maintains the well-established AmeriSpeak, a nationally representative research panel for the United States. It has undertaken many long-term landmark national research projects, including the General Social Survey (GSS) and the Medicare Beneficiary Survey, and has research experience spanning more than 100 countries worldwide. For government clients, NORC offers pre-approved contract procurement channels that simplify the cooperation process for institutional clients; it also opens up social science internship programs to cultivate the next generation of research talent.
NORC's biggest advantage is its long-standing commitment to a non-partisan, objective and neutral positioning. Backed by the academic resources of the University of Chicago, it adopts rigorous research methods and enjoys top-tier credibility in the industry. A large amount of its publicly available research data is free for academic use. But its disadvantages are also very clear: it mainly provides customized research services for institutional clients, does not offer customized services to individual users, and does not publicly disclose its pricing. In addition, its entire official website is in English, which is not user-friendly for ordinary researchers based in China.
Chinese users can currently access the NORC official website directly. Public research outputs and news content can all be viewed normally, no proxy tool is required. It is suitable for domestic public policy researchers and sociology scholars to use as an authoritative data source.
