About NewStar Research

Research support built around people, markets, and real-world fieldwork.

We help research teams recruit the right participants, coordinate fieldwork, and keep projects moving across four major U.S. markets and online.

Our story

A practical partner for modern research.

NewStar Research was built around a simple idea: strong research begins with the right people and clear communication. We support agencies, law firms, consultants, and brands with recruiting and fieldwork that stays closely aligned with the study brief.

Our team works across qualitative, legal, consumer, usability, intercept, online, and multi-market research. We bring a hands-on approach to screening, scheduling, participant communication, and field coordination so clients can stay focused on the research itself.

With market coverage in Northern Virginia, New York City, Dallas, and Los Angeles, plus nationwide online recruiting, NewStar is structured to support both local projects and broader multi-market programs.
