Who We Are
Social Science Research Solutions is a branch of AUS and sister company to ICR/International Communications Research. The principals of SSRS led the Social Science Research Group at ICR from 1998 to late 2008. During these ten years, they gained a reputation for conducting many types of survey research, from small-scale omnibus studies to large-scale custom research projects; from basic data-delivery studies to projects requiring extensive multivariate analysis and reporting; and from fast-turnaround general population polls to extensive and complex studies of specialized low-incidence populations.
Indeed, many clients came to know the Social Science Group for one particular type of research genre, without ever realizing the vast expertise the Group had with many other genres and methodologies.
Today, SSRS is a stand-alone division, drawing from the various strengths of the AUS family, including the sampling expertise of Marketing Systems Group, the omnibus services of SSRS/ICR’s EXCEL and Centris, and the data gathering power of ICR and the STR Center. We are a core team of about 50 programmers, coders, project managers, operational directors, and staff nearly 300 telephone interviewers in 4 sites across the nation.
We cater to a clientele interested in conducting high-quality social science, opinion, or population research. We conduct research nationally and internationally. In the industry, we are renowned for our facile sample designs and our experience with all modes of data collection, including those involving multimodal formats. Our project deliverables range from basic crosstabulations to in-depth analysis and reporting.
Social Science Research Solutions has built its success on providing the precision of policy research with the competitive pricing of market research.
Social Science Research Solutions is comprised of a core team of dedicated project leaders whose goal is to be your research partner – whether you require basic project fielding or seek our expertise in establishing research objectives, designing a sample plan, or developing a survey instrument.
