> (<http://programs.ssrc.org/media/>http://programs.ssrc.org/media/) 
> works to build a culture of collaboration 
> between researchers, advocates, and activists 
> that can strengthen that knowledge 
> infrastructure. Its primary activities have 
> included 'collaborative grants' for 
> research/advocacy partnerships, a Data 
> Consortium for improving access to media and 
> communications datasets, and a range of other 
> facilitation services. The program is built 
> around an online 'Media Research Hub' that 
> brokers connections between researchers and 
> other constituencies. On the Hub you can seek 
> research funding, search for resources, get 
> access to data, and read about recent news, 
> events and opportunities:
