Iran Institute for Democracy

Iran Institute for Democracy (IID) "is a think tank established to support the institutionalization of democratic principles, secularism, human rights and a free market economy in Iran." 

Ties with the Foundation for the Promotion of Democracy
Their sister organization is the Foundation for the Promotion of Democracy (FPD). The phone number listed on the IID website, 202-251-8531, is the same phone number listed on the FPD website.

In addition, FPD says it carries out its polling in Tehran, Iran's capital city, "in conjunction with its sister organization." FPD's current website does not name its "sister organization." However, an older version of FPD's website (from April 2007) links the worlds "sister organization" to IID's website. The IID website has summaries of Iran surveys conducted in 2002 and 2005 by The Tarrance Group.
