Social Science Research Council
The SSRC’s system of Regional Advisory Panels (RAPs) helped to link social scientists from different world regions both to each other and to specialists on those regions, fostering dialogue and collaboration between disciplines.
In addition to strengthening social science within regions, the Regional Advisory Panels worked to ensure participation of social scientists from all over the world in global scholarly communication and to ensure that global knowledge included attention to regional and local variation.
The Regional Advisory Panel developed initiatives to enrich scholarship and ensure an enduring supply of researchers in a particular region. In this regard, the Latin America and Caribbean Regional Advisory Panel organized and/or advised on intellectual activities ranging from conferences to research networks and training programs.
