About us
Together, We Find Evidence for a Better World. NORC at the University of Chicago is an objective, nonpartisan research organization that partners with government, corporate, and nonprofit clients around the world to inform the critical decisions facing society. For more than 80 years, NORC has used proven methods and pioneered new techniques to study the broad spectrum of human experience. We have explored the structural and personal factors that contribute to health and well-being, examined how we best learn at different stages of development, and how education systems contribute to positive and negative outcomes. NORC has charted the nature of employment and work and created deep knowledge about the state of the national economy and our relationship with money and income. We have helped governments around the world design, implement, and evaluate programs to improve the human condition. And we have probed the heart of the American psyche to understand the sometimes-conflicting views that will shape the future of the country. We now look to the future in a context of accelerating change within the industry, growing amounts and types of data, dramatic technological shifts, a dynamic population, and a growing and diversifying set of players in the research and data industries. In this environment, we must chart a course of evolutionary yet bold change that will build upon our traditional strengths to ensure our relevance, impact, and long-term sustainability.

Sr. Data Analyst @ NORC Social Data Collaboratory | Social Media Research | NLP | Spatial Data Science | Network Analysis
🎉It's my great honor to lead this innovative project. Our abstract has been accepted by #MAPOR 2024 in Chicago this November. 🙏Huge thanks to our members from NORC at the University of Chicago—this idea couldn't have come true without your support! 🚨Stay tuned for more updates on our groundbreaking work using #AI to unlock new insights in public opinion research.
At the Social Data Collaboratory, we've been exploring Gen-AI for text classification. We tasked GPT-4 with classifying two data sources: social media posts on abortion (GSMA) into Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, and Neutral attitudes; and AP-NORC open-ended survey responses on key political topics (gun issues, abortion, immigration, environment, economy). We compared GPT-4's accuracy against classical machine learning models trained on Azure AutoML. Key Takeaways: ✅ GPT-4 outperforms AutoML models. ✅ Near 100% accuracy for AP-NORC open-ended responses. ✅ Nearly 20% improvement on GSMA abortion posts. Our findings highlight GPT-4's potential in text classification tasks. 🌟 NORC at the University of Chicago #GenAI #MachineLearning #TextClassification #PublicHealth #Innovation 📊📈✨

NORC at the University of Chicago mourns the loss of Peter Meyer, a senior fellow in our Health Sciences department and a nationally recognized expert in data confidentiality and security. Peter passed away on August 18, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and dedication in the field of data governance and accessibility. Throughout his career, Peter was driven by a mission to expand access to federal health data for the research community while strengthening systems and processes to protect data privacy. Prior to joining NORC in 2019, Peter served in several leadership roles at the National Center for Health Statistics, including deputy director of the Division of Research Methodology, NCHS Confidentiality Officer, U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Officer, and the director of the NCHS Research Data Center, where he significantly improved federal data access processes and expanded the number of Research Data Centers across the United States. At NORC, Peter supported the Office of Management and Budget in developing guidelines for privacy and security of federal data related to the Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. His expertise was instrumental in efforts to balance data accessibility with privacy protection, and he made significant contributions to the development of the Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology’s Data Protection toolkit, a key resource for federal agencies on mechanisms to protect confidential data while maximizing its availability for societal benefit. Peter's contributions to the field won several awards, including the Outstanding Government Service award from the American Public Health Association Statistics Section and multiple NCHS Director's Awards for Excellence in Service. He was also honored with an Excellence in Innovation award for his work in protecting privacy in genetic data analysis and the HHS Secretary’s Award for Distinguished Service for his efforts during the federal response to Hurricane Katrina. Peter also served in the Army for 4 years as an analyst of foreign communications, specializing in Russian. In addition to being an esteemed colleague, Peter was a dear friend to many of us at NORC, the NCHS, as well as many throughout the Federal Statistical System. Our thoughts are with Peter's family and all those whose lives he touched. https://lnkd.in/dsGRU6eb

Have political debates over curriculum impacted how U.S. history is being taught across the country? In a recent survey created in partnership with the American Historical Association, we found that most U.S. history teachers don’t report outside pressure about how and what to teach. Rather than finding polarization in the U.S. history curricula from region to region, the survey also found that U.S. history teachers have a shared sense of mission across the country. Check out the latest NORC Now for all the details.

Check out this important research from my colleague Nola du Toit on data visualization and equity, raising how some groups do not understand data graphics as well as others. This research utilizes NORC's AmeriSpeak probability-based panel to conduct these experiments, which provides greater statistical power and is representative of the general adult population in the U.S.
There are many ways to present data in charts. While some are good, others struggle to accomplish the job. NORC senior research methodologist Nola du Toit details the work she and colleagues have been conducting to better understand what makes a data chart “good” or “bad”—and which groups tend to have a better understanding of data graphics. Learn more about the potential equity problems facing data visualization. https://lnkd.in/gtViaknK
