What is the Institute for
Scientific Analysis? The Institute for Scientific Analysis (ISA) is the research division of Scientific Analysis Corporation (SAC), a nonprofit corporation formed more than thirty years ago to provide social scientists with an
administrative alternative to universities and government agencies. Over the years, ISA
has sponsored more than eighty research projects, contributing to policy debates in a broad
range of social issues including poverty, social welfare, education, crime and
delinquency, mental health, race and ethnicity, gender, child development, aging,
violence, AIDS, and substance abuse.
