It is Yale’s responsibility to share light and truth—to increase knowledge and understanding of pressing domestic and international challenges. This university initiative recognizes the crucial role multidisciplinary social science research plays in addressing the great issues of the day and in searching for new insights into human relationships and society.
By convening world leaders and working collaboratively across fields, Yale sets the agenda in studying and providing solutions in areas such as global health, political instability, and cyberwarfare; in conducting evidence-based research that informs domestic public policy, it answers a call for non-partisan, policy-relevant research.
