With hundreds of faculty members leading dozens of research projects and initiatives across more than 20 disciplines, ISR is well positioned to partner with philanthropic supporters to make maximum impact on the world.

Our researchers are taking on the most pressing challenges of our world today, ranging from climate change to inequality to health behavior to racism. As an interdisciplinary institute, ISR offers many ways for our philanthropic partners to make the impact that matters most to them.

Philanthropic support enables ISR to advance the field of academic research for the public good by drawing on our research in its many different forms to develop informed conclusions that influence the decisions of leaders in both the public and private sectors around the world. It also helps sustain and grow our research ecosystems, giving our faculty and staff the tools they need to respond to social challenges and questions as they arise in real time.

Most importantly, philanthropic support helps us stay on the cutting edge of the social sciences by enabling ongoing training for all of our active researchers, and offering funding for up-and-coming researchers just taking their first steps into their field. Through these partnerships, ISR stays at the forefront of social science research while continuing to lay a strong foundation for the future.
