(U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Election Commission, ...) - Which non-government organizations (non-commercial/nonprofits) might collect relevant information?
(United Nations, World Health Org, Intl Monetary Fund ...) - Which academic research institutions (public & private) might collect relevant information?
(American National Election Studies, ..) - Which private sector organizations might collect information?
(Rand Corporation, Pew Research, ...)
