Decision Information Resources (DIR) is a Houston-based research services firm that emphasizes a people-centered approach to data collection, analysis, and reporting. It conducts primary data collection through surveys, classroom observations, student assessments, interviews, and focus groups, and operates a computer-assisted telephone interviewing center to support large-scale surveys. A nationwide network of field and telephone data collectors enables the firm to reach diverse participant groups, including often underrepresented populations, with data files prepared to each client’s specifications, across projects in education, workforce development, health, and community engagement. DIR has a decades-long track record in research and evaluation and prioritizes quality, ethical performance, timely delivery, and precision in reporting across its studies. Headquartered in Houston and with an office in Rockville, the firm relies on Ph.D. and master's level researchers, analysts, and program specialists, supplemented by a network of subject matter experts, and has engaged in collaborations such as a 2019 partnership with Urban Institute on the Choice Outcomes Study.
