About

The Stanford Center for American Democracy convenes faculty and graduate students 
in a multidisciplinary effort to address fundamental questions about American democracy, institutions, and the American electorate. With a methodological focus on survey research, the Center also serves as Stanford’s premiere resource hub for graduate students who employ survey research methods to study American public opinion.

The Center for American Democracy works to increase our understanding of American democracy and politics through:

• supporting graduate students with grants to pursue research on American democracy and public opinion

• training graduate students in survey experimental methods 

• disseminating research findings to policymakers and the broader public
