Pew Research Center

The Pew Research Center (also simply known as Pew) is a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C. It provides information on social issues, public opinion, and demographic trends shaping the United States and the world.^[2] It also conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, random sample survey research, and panel based surveys,^[5] media content analysis, and other empirical social science research.

The Pew Research Center states it does not take policy stances. It is a subsidiary of the Pew Charitable Trusts^[6] and a charter member of the American Association of Public Opinion Research's Transparency Initiative.^[7]

In 1990, the Times Mirror Company founded the Times Mirror Center for the People & the Press as a research project, tasked with conducting polls on politics and policy.^[8]Andrew Kohut became its director in 1993, and the Pew Charitable Trusts became its primary sponsor in 1996, when it was renamed the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.^[9] The research center was named after the trust, which in turn is named after its founders, the Pew family.^[10]

In 2004, the trust established the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. In 2013, Kohut stepped down as president and became founding director, and Alan Murray became the second president.^[11] In October 2014, Michael Dimock, a 14-year veteran of the center at the time of his selection, was named president.^[12]

The Pew Research Center is a nonprofit, tax-exempt501(c)(3) organization and a subsidiary of the Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary funder.^[6][13] For its studies focusing on demographics of religions in the world, the Pew Research Center has been jointly funded by the Templeton Foundation.^[14][15]
