SSRI Research and Surveys
The Steinhardt Social Research Institute (SSRI) is a research center dedicated to developing reliable and valid quantitative socio-demographic data about population groups, particularly within the United States.
SSRI conducts surveys on the national, statewide, and local levels. Our studies utilize sophisticated methodology and rigorous data analysis to develop population estimates and describe the demographic characteristics, behaviors, and attitudes of community members. We are distinguished by our willingness and capacity to adapt our methods to address communities’ specific priorities.
SSRI was established in 2005 through a generous gift from the Steinhardt Foundation.
Current Surveys
Town of Sharon Jewish Community Survey
This study seeks to gather information about the size and characteristics of the Jewish community in Sharon.

Results will be shared publicly with community members and organizations to use in responding to community needs. However, no information will be shared that identifies you individually.
If you have any other questions or concerns about the research, you can contact the Brandeis team at commstudy@brandeis.edu or 781.736.2936.
