Current Research Grants

I would like to see:

ISERP draws on the intellectual community of Columbia University to pioneer interdisciplinary social science research and shape public policy. The Institute's raison d’être is to work with faculty, fellows, and scholars to generate and find external, institutional support for innovative basic and applied social research. ISERP’s general programming coupled with the services and resources of our Research Development Office, which administers the grants of our faculty, fellows, and scholars, provide an ideal environment for making high-risk, high-return research possible.
