July 2001 saw the opening of a new Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) at Penn State University. The mission of the Social Science Research Institute is to promote cross-disciplinary and inter-college research by fostering communication and collaboration across the full range of the social science disciplines, and by providing a shared infrastructure for social science research that enables faculty to conduct high-quality studies more economically. This is a model that PRI pioneered in the population sciences, and it builds on other university-wide strategic initiatives in the life sciences; materials sciences; children, youth and families; and the environment. Open to all social science faculty members at Penn State, the SSRI is supported through the collaboration of the Colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Education, Health and Human Development, and the Liberal Arts; the Office of the Vice President for Research; and the Provost.
The SSRI serves as the organizational home for four of Penn State's major interdisciplinary research units in the social sciences, including our own Population Research Institute. A fourth center will open its doors in January 2002. The Institute for Policy Research and Evaluation (IPRE) promotes basic and applied interdisciplinary research involving the design, analysis, and evaluation of public policies and programs. Dr. David Baker, professor of education and sociology, is interim director of IPRE. The Center for Health Care and Policy Research (CHCPR), headed by Dr. Pamela Farley Short, professor of health policy and administration, addresses the antecedents and consequences of the organization, delivery, and financing of health services. The newly established Survey Research Center (SRC) advances research and training in survey methods and meets the need for state-of-the-art and comprehensive survey services to support social science research. Dr. David Johnson, professor of sociology and human development and family studies, who recently came to Penn State from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, directs the SRC. A research center addressing interdisciplinary research issues on work and the family will open soon. Dr. Anne Crouter, professor of human development and family studies, will direct the center. Many of the directors have a history of collaborating with each other, and a number of faculty are members of more than one center. This creates additional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and the development of large-scale social science research and training initiatives.
Because of the infusion of new resources from the colleges, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and the Provost, the SSRI is developing a shared research infrastructure that builds on and extends many of the outstanding resources developed within PRI. Social scientists at the university will now have access to "one-stop-shopping" in developing their research. Services will include proposal development and grants management, computing, data management and statistical programming, electronic data archiving, geographic information systems, and information dissemination. A brand new service is survey design and data collection made possible by the creation of the Survey Research Center (SRC). The SRC has the capability of fielding national telephone and web surveys and will also be able to support in-person interviews within Pennsylvania.
This is an exciting time for both PRI and social science research at Penn State. The university's investment in the SSRI is a direct reflection of PRI's success. The creation of the SSRI also reflects the university's support of interdisciplinary research and its goal of easing the institutional barriers to faculty collaboration across colleges. I look forward to the many new collaborations and projects that will result from this initiative. I invite you to visit the web site of the Social Science Research Institute to learn more about the SSRI and its research centers.

NEW EXTERNAL RESEARCH FUNDING AT PRI
Exploring Excellence for Faculty and Families
Dr. Robert Drago, professor of labor studies and industrial relations, with Dr. Carol Colbeck, received funding from the Sloan Foundation for his project, Exploring Excellence for Faculty and Families, for the period 4/1/01 - 7/31/03. The Faculty and Families project (Drago, Crouter, Wardell, & Willits, 2000) sought to describe and understand incompatibilities between faculty status and family commitments with an eye to improving the ability of faculty to make and meet simultaneous commitments to career and family. This new project will take the next step of identifying these incompatibilities at a larger sample of institutions in order to locate and study a handful of institutions that have successfully addressed the problems.
Population Research Center Grant
Dr. Mark Hayward, director of the Population Research Institute, director of the Social Science Research Institute, and professor of sociology and demography, received funding from NICHD to support the Population Research Institute for the period 7/1/01 - 6/30/06.
Living Arrangements, Parenting & Developmental Outcomes
Dr. Rukmalie Jayakody, assistant professor of human development and family studies and demography, with Dr. E. Michael Foster, associate professor of health policy and administration, and Dr. Ariel Kalil (University of Chicago), received funding from NICHD for the period 09/01/2001 - 05/31/2004 to study the developmental trajectories of young children growing up in low-income families, many of whom were born to teenage mothers, specifically examining the effects of living arrangements on young children's developmental outcomes.
The Impact of Neighborhood and School Context for Children in Immigrant Families
Dr. Suet-ling Pong, associate professor of education, with Dr. Lingxin Hau (Johns Hopkins University), has received funding from the Spencer Foundation for the period 8/1/01 - 7/31/04 to investigate individual and family factors in immigrant children's school success. The researchers will contextualize immigrant children's school performance to show how immigrant children's test scores, grade-point-averages, and school persistence relate to their neighborhood and school contexts.
