Our Mission
The SRC’s main purpose is to assist students and faculty in designing and implementing their own survey research projects. The SRC provides consultation and guidance on study design, sampling, instrument development, data collection and data processing. The Center has a 12-station computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) facility, a library collection on survey research methods, and a network of external resources.

Facility
The offices of the Survey Research Center are located on the Princeton University campus at 169 Nassau Street. The Survey Research Center currently operates a 12-station telephone interviewing facility, with a three-station overflow capacity.
