A good starting point is CensusScope, which is a portal to Census 2010 and 2000 data, charts, graphs and maps. This site is a product of the Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN) at the University of Michigan. Several other research centers do provide summaries of their findings on their websites:

American Customer Satisfaction Index (University of Michigan Business School)
General Social Survey (National Opinion Research Center)
Health and Retirement Study (University of Michigan)
Human Development Index (Social Science Research Council)
Metropolitan Racial and Ethnic Change Reports and Data (Lewis Mumford Center for Comparative Urban and Regional Research, University at Albany)
The Multicultural Economy (Selig Center for Economic Growth, University of Georgia)
National Center for Children in Poverty (Columbia University)
National Survey of America's Families (Urban Institute, via the ICPSR)
Panel Study of Income Dynamics (University of Michigan)
Population Change and Migration Data for US Geographic Areas and other reports (William H. Frey)
