John Rogers’ formal training is in social psychology (M.A., San Francisco State University, 1991; Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley, 1999). He has an interest in survey research, with 15 years of experience in all aspects of large survey projects from research design to publication, at PRI, Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation / Prevention Research Center (Berkeley, CA), and at the Alcohol Research Group (ARG) in Berkeley, CA. While at ARG, Rogers authored and co-authored ten scientific articles and 16 conference presentations.

Dr. Rogers has expertise in research methods, statistical methods, social psychology, grant writing, and research administration. His research interests lie in survey methodology, innovation and creativity, group processes, distributed information processing, and neighborhood-based research. Dr. Rogers has authored numerous studies of survey research methodology, alcohol abuse, and small group processes.

Rogers assumed his current position as Associate Director of the Public Research Institute in late 2000, and was responsible for virtually all Institute operations until its current director (James Wiley) arrived in Spring 2002. In 2001, Rogers developed a proposal for a National Science Foundation Major Research Infrastructure grant to completely modernize PRI’s telephone survey research facility (awarded).
