The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) (Arabic: المركز الفلسطيني للبحوث السياسية والمسحية) is a Palestinian research organisation and think tank based in Ramallah established for "advancing scholarship and knowledge on immediate issues of concern to Palestinians in three areas: domestic politics and government, strategic analysis and foreign policy, and public opinion polls and survey research".
[3] The organization has been the object of hostility ranging from pressure from the Palestinian Authority (PA) to mob violence.
In 2003, PCPSR's offices in Ramallah were ransacked by dozens of rioters after the center published poll findings showing that only 10% of Palestinian refugees would choose to live in Israel if offered the right of return.
According to Shikaki, the demonstrators wanted to send a message to PA President Mahmoud Abbas that the right of return was non-negotiable.
[4] In 2015, the PA required that all Palestinian NGOs, including PCPSR, report their activities and funding to the cabinet.
