AISP Network: Institute for Social Capital

The Institute for Social Capital is located within the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s Urban Institute. It houses the ISC Community Database, an integrated data system created to foster university research and to increase the community’s capacity for data-informed decision-making. Through collaboration with nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, and other organizations in the Charlotte region, ISC serves as a resource to benefit the university and the greater community. By linking data across agencies, the ISC Community Database allows researchers and community agencies to better describe, understand, and serve vulnerable populations.
