Steinhardt Social Research Institute
- Steinhardt Social Research Institute
The Steinhardt Social Research Institute was created in 2005 from a gift from Michael Steinhardt at Brandeis University as a forum to collect, analyze, and disseminate unbiased data about the Jewish community and about religion and ethnicity in the United States. The first mission of SSRI was to interpret the inherent problems with the National Jewish Population Survey of 2000 (NJPS). Most recently, SSRI has done a Boston Jewish Population Survey of the Greater Boston Jewish community.The results of this study were released on November 9, 2006.

The Institute will collect and organize existing socio-demographic data from private, communal, and government sources and will conduct local and national studies of the character of American Jewry and Jewish organizations.
The work of the Institute will be done by a multidisciplinary staff of faculty and scholars, working with undergraduate and graduate students, and augmented by visiting scholars and consultants.
The Institute works in close collaboration with the Maurice and Marilyn Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies.
