When you read about the SSRC Network’s latest research, you are reading summaries of peer-reviewed academic research from the network’s members formatted and summarized to emphasize actionable insights for application.
Each summary will provide:

- Methods or Approach
- Key Findings and Results
- Practical Application or Translation – identifying how the findings can be directly deployed into field, industry, and/or practice
- Actionable Conclusion(s)
- Full reference with link to the original work
