ISERP works with researchers, students and the broader public to generate, sponsor and carry out social science research. ISERP provides a number of resources for faculty researchers, whether in the initial stages of new research or ready to spread the word about findings.

We encourage broad faculty participation through our centers, workshops, mentorship programs, and academic education and training. All prospective researchers and faculty fellows should examine our current and past research to get a better sense of ISERP’s scope.
