The Social Science Research Council (SSRC)

The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is an independent organization that supports and promotes research in social sciences—fields like sociology, political science, anthropology, and economics. Its goal is to advance understanding of societal issues by funding projects, fostering collaborations, and organizing discussions among researchers. The SSRC also helps shape public policy and scholarship by disseminating research findings. Through these efforts, it aims to improve knowledge about human behavior, cultures, and social structures, ultimately contributing to a more informed and engaged society.
