Mission
Our mission is to foster research that addresses critical human and social problems at the local, national, and international levels. We do so by bringing together researchers from different disciplines around emerging areas of study, and by providing consultation, financial support, shared, accessible infrastructure, and services to social scientists at Penn State. Our research support is aimed at promoting:
- Research by investigators from diverse fields within the social and behavioral sciences
- Research collaborations across disciplinary lines, across colleges and research centers, and across universities
- The activities of multidisciplinary and translational research centers
Within SSRI we support several research units.
