Partners & Projects
Collaboration at ICPSR
ICPSR collaborates with sponsors and research partners to widen its vast archive of social science data for research and instruction.
Partnerships are increasingly essential to research success, and ICPSR is committed to developing partnerships to advance science. Indeed, the ICPSR Strategic Plan emphasizes the importance of partnerships with other data and technology innovators.
Over the years, ICPSR has collaborated with a number of funders, including U.S. statistical agencies and foundations, to create archives organized around specific topics. These Thematic Collections benefit from ICPSR's experience and existing infrastructure, while the work funded by the Collections and the new services created for them bring dynamism to ICPSR from which the broader social science research community benefits. The funders provide new data, in most cases free to everyone, and this stimulates more research. The funders of Thematic Collections and ICPSR collaborate to build additional infrastructure for effective data use and discovery.
ICPSR partners with others on Research Projects that span a number of disciplines. The emerging fields of data science and digital curation are key research areas for ICPSR, with a special focus on issues involved in disclosure risk and human subjects protection. In addition, ICPSR collaborates on best practice in the areas of social science metadata and documentation as well as digital preservation. Also part of ICPSR's research portfolio is primary research, with an emphasis on historical demography and the environment. Directors of the themed archives described above also conduct research in their respective disciplines, an added benefit of partnership and collaboration.
As part of these projects, ICPSR receives grants from a number of government agencies and private foundations.
