Ryerson Project
What do Americans think? Let's nowcast it together.
Daily surveys. Guided by active researchers. Data as a public good for all.
Time series. Interpolated and extrapolated.
Let's predict, be wrong, and learn. Together.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Ryerson Project?
-
The Ryerson Project is a semi-autonomous system to nowcast the attitudes, opinions and beliefs of American adults.
New daily data is collected from samples of Americans responding to survey items. The items are chosen by a community of active social scientists.
Results on the website are updated daily. The data is available publicly, freely and immediately.
- I want to suggest survey items. I want a say in prioritizing items. How do I join the community?
-
The Ryerson community of researchers will collaboratively compose and prioritize items for the daily omnibus survey.
Join the waitlist to be notified when community features become available.
Participation is limited to members of the research community. A non-empty ORCID profile older than 180 days is required.
- Will you share the data?
-
Of course, yes.

About the creator
I am Dr. Jason Jeffrey Jones, and I am a computational social scientist. I have published dozens of peer-reviewed articles based on analysis of billions of data points.
Now I am exploring a new form of publication: the Social Science Dashboard Inator. An Inator is a daily-updating web dashboard that addresses social science research questions. All code and data is instantly, freely, publicly available.
This website - the Ryerson Project - is the first community-driven Inator.

(and also alternate history football fan fiction).
