Faculty Fellows

The CCSS Faculty Fellows program provides the time and space for ambitious research projects.

The primary purpose of the CCSS Faculty Fellows Program is to nurture the careers of Cornell University’s most promising faculty members in the social sciences. The goal is to provide time and space for high-impact social scientific scholarship. The program is also designed to create an environment of intellectual exchange and an appreciation for interdisciplinary scholarship.

FSRDC

CCSS supports the Cornell Federal Statistical Research Data Center (FSRDC), a secure facility managed by the U.S. Census Bureau, providing secure access to confidential files from various federal statistical agencies for statistical purposes only.

The Cornell Center for the Social Sciences coordinates the relationship with the U.S. Census Bureau for Cornell and houses the secure facility that the Census Bureau manages at 391 Pine Tree Rd.

This facility allows researchers to work locally with restricted-access federal data, removing the need to travel to New York City, the Washington, D.C. area, or elsewhere.
