From the website:

"The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It does so by conducting public opinion polling and social science research; by reporting news and analyzing news coverage; and by holding forums and briefings. It does not take positions on policy issues."

The Center's work is carried out by eight projects:

• Pew Research Center for the People & the Press
• Project for Excellence in Journalism
• Stateline.org
• Pew Internet & American Life Project
• Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life
• Pew Hispanic Center
• Pew Global Attitudes Project
• Social & Demographic Trends
