Nyu Institute Of Human Development And Social Change

The Institute of Human Development and Social Change (IHDSC) at New York University (NYU) aims to inspire, support, and amplify innovative and equity-driven scholarly research through excellence in individualized grant administration and research development, community engagement, and the promotion of evidence-based research products. By prioritizing principles of equity, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity, we strive to stimulate social impact locally and globally. IHDSC cultivates an intellectual community focused on issues related to poverty and inequality, education and child development, health and wellbeing, and social policy in local, national, and global contexts. Faculty, students, and staff work together to create knowledge (research), transmit knowledge (education), and use knowledge to promote change (policy and practice).
