“For 100 years the Social Science Research Council has mobilized policy-relevant social and behavioral science in the public interest. We have learned much about policies that can support shared peace and prosperity, but there is still much that we do not know.
Today, new tools and methods for conducting social and behavioral science at scale offer the possibility of developing innovative solutions to urgent global problems. The SSRC is uniquely positioned to unite the research, policy, and philanthropic communities in the work of understanding how to leverage these tools to identify policies that can better support human well-being on a global scale. As the Council enters a new century, this work is more important than ever.”

In recognition of the increasing potential for social and behavioral science to find actionable solutions to today’s most significant social problems, the Social Science Research Council is launching an ambitious and exciting $100 million Centennial Campaign for the Social and Behavioral Sciences. We invite you to join those who recognize the societal value of socially useful social and behavioral science.
As we move into the Social Science Research Council’s next century of advancing solutions-oriented social and behavioral science in the public interest, we’re glad to have you with us.
