Roseville Parks and Re(:reation Survey About the National Research Center Team About National Research Center, Inc. National Research Center, Inc. (NRC), founded in 1994, is a leading research and evaluation firm focusing on the information requirements of the public sector, including local and state governments, the federal government, special districts, non-profit agencies, health care providers and foundations. NRC principals have been leading the strategic use of surveys for local governments since 1991, when the principals of the company wrote the first edition of what became the classic text on citizen surveying: Citizen Surveys: How to do them, how to use them, what they mean. We have pioneered the citizen survey industry, creating new and innovative tools and analysis that provide our clients with the most useful information so they can take action and implement new policies or programs or modify existing ones. We recently published a second book to help City's understand how to use survey results effectively: Citizen Surveys:A comprehensive guide to making them matter(published by the International City/County Management Association, January, 2009). While the project lead and manager have graduate degrees in social science research methods, they have worked so long in and with special districts and other local governments that they are extremely savvy about the real world contingencies of bringing a credible and useful piece of survey research to clients.
