Social Science Research Institute

As the dedicated research division of the College, the Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) conducts and supports interdisciplinary, applied research that addresses critical social, behavioral, economic and environmental problems primarily in Hawaiʻi and within the Asia-Pacific region. SSRI offers a comprehensive array of extramural support services to faculty, including the identification of funding sources to proposal development. This “life cycle” approach to grant-making activities includes grant development services, workshops and training, research services, compliance reviews, fiscal and administrative support, and assisting principal investigators in managing awards.
