National Opinion Research Center (NORC) / United Jewish Communities (UJC) Study of Geographic Mobility
Groeneman Research & Consulting teamed with the National Opinion Research Center, affiliated with the University of Chicago (NORC:http://www.ujc.org/), to help UJC (http://www.ujc.org/) develop a guide for communities to use in confronting changes in philanthropy, volunteerism and affiliation that are linked to shifts in geographic mobility. The final report will contain practical findings, policy recommendations and strategies intended to benefit the Federation system. These findings and strategies will be reported and presented to local and national Jewish communal leaders, and will be disseminated to the federation system at large. Along with Tom W. Smith, Director of the General Social Survey at NORC, Sid Groeneman co-managed a major research component of this project -- an analysis of the correlates and consequences of residential movements, based on data compiled from nine local Jewish community surveys conducted during the past decade and from the 2000-2001 National Jewish Population Survey.
