How We Work

In collaboration with our partners, we administer fellowships and research grants that create new knowledge, support emerging fields of study that illuminate and address new societal challenges, produce and translate timely, accessible, and actionable research, convene innovation networks connecting researchers with stakeholders, support new generations of researchers, and provide efficient and responsive fiscal sponsorship for mission-aligned projects.

  1. Fellowships and Grants Administration The SSRC has long partnered with funders to design and administer fellowship and research grant programs that foster the production of new and relevant knowledge.
  2. Producing and Translating Research The SSRC has extensive experience in producing relevant, accessible, and actionable research that is responsive to stakeholder needs.
  3. Incubating Emerging Fields The SSRC designs events, research consortia, and online knowledge platforms that bridge silos and build knowledge networks across disciplines and geographies, supporting the emergence of new fields of study.
  4. Supporting the Next Generation of Scholars The SSRC has a long and successful history of developing and administering mentoring programs and research consortia that support new generations of researchers and innovators.
  5. Convening Innovation Networks The SSRC has deep experience designing events and programs that bridge silos and build innovation networks connecting researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders, fostering productive new collaborations that link knowledge to practice.
  6. Fiscal Sponsorship The SSRC’s Fiscal Sponsorship program provides an institutional home for innovative initiatives that create new knowledge, translate knowledge into impact, and broaden opportunity.

Work with the SSRC

For more than a century, funders, universities, and public agencies have turned to the SSRC to design and run programs that put research to work. If you are planning a fellowship, a research initiative, or a new network, we would be glad to talk through how we can help.
