Working across disciplines and continents, we strengthen the capacity of institutions and individuals to produce and apply social science knowledge. Through research committees, convenings, fellowships and grants, and publications, we create collaborative spaces where academic rigor meets practical application, ensuring vital research reaches policymakers, practitioners, and the broader public.

In our work we mobilize our extensive global network of researchers, fellows, and grantees; disciplinary associations including the Council's seven founding associations; faculty and institutional leaders from the College and University Fund for the Social Sciences, and our many funding partners.
