Director, Cornell Center for the Social Sciences Cornell University The CCSS accelerates, enhances, and amplifies social science research at Cornell. The CCSS accomplishes these goals by uniting programmatic and infrastructure resources within the Office of the Vice Provost for Research (OVPR). Programmatic resources include faculty fellowship support and a broader set of grant incubation programs designed to foster systematic, evidence-based, and collaborative research studies addressing important disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and public policy concerns. Infrastructure resources support all aspects of social science research at Cornell, including finding and collecting data, computing infrastructure and support for storing and analyzing data, replication, and amplification of research findings. The CCSS either provides this research support directly or directs Cornell social scientists to the available services and support provided by other centers and units at Cornell.
