The Social Science Research Council is an independent, not-for-profit research organization founded in 1923. Based in New York City, it mobilizes researchers, policy makers,professionals, activists, and other experts from the private and public sectors to develop innovative approaches to issues of critical social importance.

The SSRC is committed to the idea that social science can produce necessary knowledge—necessary for citizens to understand their societies and necessary for policy makers to decide on crucial questions.

The Social Science Research Council ( http://www.ssrc.org/ ) is accepting applications for large grants through its Collaborative Grants program for academic-advocacy partnerships in media and communications.

The program provides one-year grants of up to $30,000 each for support of academic-advocacy research collaborations designed to change media/telecommunications infrastructure, practices, or policies. Projects must involve substantive collaboration between a researcher based at a university, college, or other academically oriented research institution, and a U.S.-based nonprofit advocacy, organizing, or community group working on media and/or telecommunications issues.

The program also offers small grants of up to $7,500 for short-term academic research in support of advocacy and activism in media and communications. Applications are accepted approximately every four months.

For application procedures, deadlines, and other details, see the Small Grants section on the SSRC Web site.
