Welcome to the Understanding America Study Omnibus Survey


Next UAS Omnibus Submission Deadline: To be announced

The UAS Omnibus is a powerful resource that allows researchers to share the overhead cost of obtaining valid and reliable national data needed for academic, government, private, public, or policy research. Obtain a sample of 1000 respondents, using up to 12 questions per quarter, and track change over time. Further savings are provided by the ability to link your data to the UAS's extensive collection of sociodemographic variables and other analytic data on a wide variety of topics such as health, finances, cognitive ability, political attitudes, psychological tests, and including the entire set of Health and Retirement Study questions. Demographic and household data is updated quarterly, so crucial information is always up to date.

There are many advantages to using the UAS Omnibus, which is based in the 6000+ member national Understanding America Study panel.

The UAS is committed to complete transparency and integrity in our operations. We comply with the Code of Professional Ethics and Practices of the American Association for Public Opinion Research and our ESOMAR company profile is provided online.

UAS Staff are available to assist with question wording to ensure you collect the data that you need. At the end of the field period, we will provide you with a fully weighted data set. Use our online price calculator to explore costs for basic questions, or contact us to discuss the costs of deploying more complex designs.
