At Langer Research Associates, we produce purposeful social science research that serves a public good. We specialize in in-depth U.S. and international research on public policy, social and political trends, with a focus on best practices in sample and questionnaire design, rigorous statistical modeling and insightful analysis.
As a boutique custom research shop, we select and stage our portfolio to achieve maximum levels of personal attention to project details and client support. Our work ranges from fast-turnaround projects addressing urgent knowledge needs to full-length studies including detailed literature reviews, qualitative interviews with thought leaders, collaborative engagement with research stakeholders and complex survey methodologies and analyses. In all our work, our research partners receive our complete commitment.
Our long experience producing high-profile surveys for public release and our well-established dedication to methodological best practices and full disclosure encourage serious consideration of our work by the news media, elected officials, policymakers, business leaders and the public at large. Some projects are produced for private use by our clients, whom we assure absolute discretion and full confidentiality.
Beyond public policy, our assignments range from litigation research to monitoring and evaluation of international development programs. Ongoing or recent research partners include the ABC News Television Network, the American Statistical Association, Bloomberg L.P., Borealis Philanthropy, the Charles Butt Foundation, Cornell University, the COVID Collaborative, Digital Promise, ESPN, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the National Sleep Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Pew Research Center, Phi Delta Kappa International, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the U.S. Department of State and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Inquiries are welcome and references are available.
We’re proud to be a charter member of the Transparency Initiative of the American Association for Public Opinion Research.
