This week @aapor.bsky.social, I'm excited for my @norc.org methodology colleagues to present (and debut!) some exciting work at the intersection of #ai and #surveys. A quick round-up 🧵 ⤵️

Heartbreaking to see announcements of major layoffs at most research organizations that have played a vital role in supporting federal statistics for education and developing high-quality evidence about what policies/practices actually work. Below are just a few examples from my LinkedIn feed.

To our clients, partners, and peers:
We want to let you know that we are reducing our workforce to align with the needs of our clients and ensure the continued, exceptional support we've offered for decades to the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. The staff we are letting go are skilled, experienced, and passionate about their work. Any organization would be fortunate to have them. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of assistance.

Like many of our peer organizations, this week NORC had to reduce our staff to ensure we are operating effectively and have the right mix of skills to align with client needs. The people departing NORC are highly talented and capable professionals, and they have made important contributions to our mission of delivering trustworthy and reliable data and analysis to inform society's most important decisions. They will be valuable employees and colleagues wherever their careers take them next.
To each of you who are leaving, and on behalf of everyone at NORC, I offer our deepest thanks and appreciation for your dedicated service and the lasting impact you've made on our organization.

To our collaborators: Like many of our peer organizations, MDRC has had to reduce our staff in recent days, letting go of many talented and highly skilled professionals. Each of these colleagues would be an asset to another organization, and we encourage you to consider them for any career opportunities you may have.
MDRC remains committed to our mission of learning what works to improve policy, practice, and people's well-being.

We’ve all heard about the promise of Generative AI for research assistance. But just how helpful might it be? My NORC colleagues are examining several use cases. This article summarizes their intriguing findings for one scenario - the effect on data quality and user experience in web surveys
