The Institute for Social and Behavioral Science (ISBS) engages in community-centered research spanning the social and behavioral science disciplines. ISBS specializes in research relevant to public policy issues in the Central Florida region and beyond. To meet this end, ISBS employs various quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including, but not limited to, focus groups, interviews, and statistical analysis. ISBS clientele are diverse and include agencies that target health, violence, crime, food insecurity, homelessness, and other social problems. In this way, we advance the science that guides improving the lives of individuals, communities, and the broader population.
