First Annual Meeting of the National Consortium of Social Science Research Centers and Institutes
February 22-23, 2007

The Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) of Duke University hosted the inaugural interdisciplinary conference that brought together a key group of founding participants. The past few years has seen a marked growth in such centers and institutes on university campuses across the country. The purpose of this conference was to build a consortium oriented to share ideas, strategies, and development plans so that we could each best promote cutting edge social science research and methods on our respective campuses and at the national level.
