NOD Research Projects

Surveys

Since the 1980’s, NOD has collaborated with the Harris Poll to gather data on a variety of issues facing people with disabilities, the results of which are widely used by policymakers and by the disability community. In 2010, NOD will release two Harris surveys funded by the Kessler Foundation: the Survey of Americans with Disabilities, and the Survey on Employment of People with Disabilities.
