Mobilizing social science for the public good. The Social Science Research Council, an independent, international nonprofit, mobilizes necessary knowledge for the public good by supporting scholars worldwide, generating new research across disciplines, and linking researchers with policymakers and citizens. 100 years of social science in the public interestThe Social Science Research Council (SSRC) was founded in 1923 by visionary representatives from the American Economic Association, the American Sociological Association, the American Political Science Association, and the American Statistical Association. By 1925, representatives from the American Anthropological Association, the American Historical Association, and the American Psychological Association had joined the organization. Since its inception, the SSRC has generated new insights into the most pressing societal issues of the past century.Learn More About UsBuilding an inclusive and global research communityBy awarding more than 18,000 fellowships and grants since our founding, the Social Science Research Council has identified, cultivated, and advanced innovative research that expands our collective understanding. We support a diverse and representative research community that brings a range of perspectives and approaches to understanding the human condition.Explore Fellowships & OpportunitiesTranslating research into actionFor nearly 100 years, the Social Science Research Council has coordinated the research, policy, and philanthropic communities in the pursuit of evidence-based policies that promote human well-being on a global scale. As the Council enters its second century, this work is more important than ever. Support the SSRCResearch areas we're focused onEmergent Technologies & DemocracyIn an era of ubiquitous digital communication, uneven democratic participation, and heightened polarization, understanding the dynamic relationship between technology and politics is more important than ever.Health & SocietyBuilding bridges between the social and natural sciences, researchers and practitioners, and world regions, our programs investigate the global and local effects of pressing issues such as disease outbreaks and public health misinformation. Inequality & InclusionInequality—both in society at large and within the academy itself—remains an urgent issue. Council programs bring innovative social science analysis to bear on our understanding of the roots and consequences of unequal participation in political, economic, and social systems across the globe.Global Scholarship & CollaborationWe catalyze collaboration among scholars and institutions across world regions, promoting research at the intersection of “place-based knowledge” and global issues that shape communities, nation-states, and the world.Publications from our Network of ExpertsEssay CollectionCovid-19 Fieldnotes from Our GranteesRecipients of the SSRC's Rapid-Response Grants on Covid-19 and the Social Sciences share their insights from the field.RecentA Portrait of California 2021–2022ReportWhere Heritage Meets ViolenceEssay CollectionThe Unequal Burden of Water Insecurity during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Insights from UgandaBlog PostReligious Publicity and Transnational Minority PoliticsBlog PostLatest News from the CouncilNews - April 29th, 2022Council Update: Announcing the SSRC/NEH SHIP Grantees, 2022 Lindblom Memorial Fellow, Welcoming New Board Members, & MoreNews - April 28th, 2022Gina Neff and Raka Ray Join the SSRC Board of DirectorsNews - April 14th, 202221 Projects Selected to Receive SSRC/NEH Sustaining Humanities Infrastructure Program GrantsNews - March 31st, 2022Council Update: Introducing the Digital Platforms Initiative, Measure of America works with Starbucks, and moreNews - March 31st, 2022Case Western Reserve University Joins the College and University Fund for the Social SciencesNews - March 31st, 2022Measure of America publishes new report revealing the pandemic’s impact on youth disconnection in the USNews - March 2nd, 2022Introducing the Just Tech platform, a dynamic resource that aggregates, curates, & distills research on technological development, inequity, & social justiceMore News Social Science Research Council300 Cadman Plaza West, 15th FloorBrooklyn, NY 11201, USA212-377-2700Privacy PolicyCreative CommonsDirections to the SSRCEmploymentContact UsMobilizing social science for the public good.The Social Science Research Council, an independent, international nonprofit, mobilizes necessary knowledge for the public good by supporting scholars worldwide, generating new research across disciplines, and linking researchers with policymakers and citizens.Sign up for Council Update, the SSRC’s monthly newsletterBy subscribing, you agree that the SSRC may process your information in accordance with our privacy policy.We use cookies on our site to improve your browsing experience.
