Budget overview and highlighted metrics from our work this year.

Business Operations provides IQSS programs and teams with administrative and financial support, as well as general services to the IQSS community.

IQSS Research Services provide high-touch technical solutions for researchers in the Harvard community.

Dataverse is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore and analyze research data, with a growing number of installations worldwide.

Client Support Services (CSS) provides desktop IT support and assistance with all of our affiliates’ hardware and software needs.

Social science researchers at Harvard recently migrated from IQSS’s Research Computing Environment (RCE) to the more powerful FAS Research Computing infrastructure (FASRC). As a result, 3.5 times as many researchers now use cluster resources, CPU usage increased twenty-twofold, and GPU usage exceeds 178,000 hours. Researchers can now undertake larger experiments and more ambitious computational projects, and their use of these resources is expected to grow.

IQSS is home to the Center for Geographic Analysis and many more faculty-led programs focused on qualitative and quantitative social science topics of interest.
