The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does not take positions on policy issues. Its work is carried out by these seven projects: The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, Project for Excellence in Journalism, Pew Internet & American Life Project, The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, Pew Hispanic Center, Pew Global Attitudes Project, Social & Demographic Trends.

This non-partisan website helps citizens to understand critical policy issues and helps leaders understand the public's point of view.

This digital library of public policy research is a joint effort of the Center for Governmental Studies and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Resouce provides information on public policy isssues, e.g. government finance, healthcare, education, employment, and social services.

The International Relations Program at the University of Pennsylvania hosts this site. Here you will find an annual survey of the best think tanks (on various criteria) and a growing database of think tanks.
