ISR Inclusive Research Matters Series
This seminar series reflects ISR’s ongoing commitment to transparently and intentionally exploring the role of inclusion in the research process. The series was developed following discussions within the Educational Programs Working Group, which focused on integrating inclusion into research methodology.
Research

Training & Opportunities

ISR is committed to training the next generation of social scientists, and to providing the highest quality continuing education to professionals working in the fields of survey research and data analysis.

Organizational Projects
- Strong, impactful social science research requires diverse cadres of scholars who can fully engage in all aspects of the research process.
- The high quality social science at ISR requires teams composed of staff and faculty whose contributions are understood to be equally valuable.
- We believe in a responsibility to share social science research resources broadly with scholars who are members of groups that are underrepresented in academic research.
