Currently, SRI is funded by over $20 million in external funding from competitive grants and contracts at the local, state, and federal level.
The Social Research Institute (SRI) provides research, training, and implementation
facilitation that assists agencies and programs to provide effective social services
to children and adults. SRI strives to produce research that not only has high intellectual
merit but also broad impacts. As characterized by the National Science Foundation,
the latter criterion involves research that, among other things, benefits society
by not only creating new knowledge but also provides dissemination of findings, promotes
training, and broadens participation of underrepresented groups.
