This spring, CCSS funded 35 faculty research and conference proposals across 10 colleges and schools and 23 departments at Cornell. CCSS offers up to $12K for research projects and up to $5K in conference support. Explore the full list of awardees on the CCSS website.

Cornell researchers Cristobal Young, Benjamin Cornwell, and Barum Park, with Nan Feng (NYU), used evidence from 15 major U.S. datasets for this article recently published in Sociological Science. The team utilized computing resources and consulting support from CCSS throughout the project.

Cornell researchers can now access the 2025 edition of the CNTS Data Archive through CCSS. This edition adds over 51,000 new data points, with coverage extended through the past year. It also includes 14 years of optional LINKS files (2011–present), offering media source references for domestic conflict events such as assassinations, strikes, riots, and more.



To obtain these files, you must have a Cornell NetID and be using a Cornell computer or have a Cornell IP address.

The U.S. Census Bureau has acquired administrative records containing graduates’ degree level, degree major, and post-secondary institution from universities and university systems.
