For those of you who are interested in such things, I’ve included some links to websites and institutions that I like and support.
SOCIOLOGY & RESEARCH
University of Alberta Population Research Laboratory (PRL)
The PRL was a social science research center at the University of Alberta that conducted surveys on a wide range of topics for over 50 years. Sadly, they were forced to close due to budget cuts at the university. Their website still shares information on earlier surveys, though. – http://www.prl.ualberta.ca/

The Interdisciplinary Committee on Applied Graduate Statistics advances graduate education in quantitative methods used in the social sciences by promoting interdisciplinary cooperation across departments at the University of Alberta. – https://icags.ca
