## Focus Areas

- [Health \& Society](https://www.ssrc.org//focus-areas/health-and-society/): Building bridges between the social and natural sciences, researchers and practitioners, and world regions, our programs investigate the global and local effects of pressing issues such as disease outbreaks and public health misinformation\.
