University of Michigan / Institute for Social Research (news release)

The Institute for Social Research (ISR) is a unit of the University of Michigan, a state public university, and is the largest academic social science survey organization in the world. Its news releases summarize findings from federally and foundation-funded research, including major national longitudinal studies. During the Trump administration's second term, ISR has reported on federal funding cuts that halted some of its own research projects and has publicly emphasized the need to preserve government data it views as at risk.
