Opportunities
Get Involved
The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College (CRR) is committed to producing independent, rigorous research that helps Americans achieve financial security in retirement. Whether you’re an organization looking to support that mission, a researcher with relevant expertise, or someone interested in joining our team, we’d love to hear from you.
Partner with Us
The CRR’s Partnership Program connects forward-thinking organizations with one of the nation’s leading retirement research centers. Partners gain access to our research staff for data analysis, participation in events, expert review of white papers or products, and the flexibility to customize the partnership benefits.
Partnership with the CRR is an annual membership program open to financial services firms, plan sponsors, foundations, and other organizations invested in lifelong financial security.

Sponsor Us
A gift to the CRR helps sustain independent research that contributes to shaping retirement policy for millions of Americans. Our new Contributor tier offers individuals and organizations a meaningful way to support us and be recognized for their commitment to this mission.
Contributors at a $5,000 level or above are listed on the CRR website as a valued supporter of our work. This tier is ideal for those who want to make a difference without the engagement commitments of a full partnership.

Collaborate on Research
The CRR welcomes collaboration with external researchers whose work intersects with retirement income, older workers, health and long-term care, Social Security, and related policy areas. We are particularly interested in connecting with scholars who have access to novel data or are pursuing questions that complement our research.
If you’re working on something that might be a fit, we’d be happy to explore what collaboration could look like – from co-authorship to data sharing to teaming up on grant proposals.
