Foundation for Social Connection

Translating Research Into Action

To build the field of ERH, the center also works closely with the Foundation for Social Connection, which is committed to translating research into action by fostering the development and implementation of evidence-based models to address social isolation, loneliness, and social connection. 

Their world-renowned, nationally-convened Scientific Leadership Council (on which Dr. Dumitriu serves) deliberates on, and provides recommendations and thought leadership on, matters of scientific research and evidence. 

In partnership with the Scientific Leadership Council, the Foundation for Social Connection publishes resources for public use and advises on best practices for robust data collection and measurement approaches, and the translation of evidence into scalable and sustainable ways to address social connection.
