The Center for Human Services Research (CHSR) has over 30 years of experience in social service research and evaluation. CHSR is dedicated to developing empirically-based knowledge to improve the design and delivery of services that address social issues and meet community needs in the Capital region, across New York State, and across the United States. We conduct evaluation research and design information systems to inform policymakers and service providers across a broad spectrum of fields serving vulnerable and marginalized populations using our sophisticated research, technical, and management skills. CHSR values integrity in its work and is dedicated to providing timely, accurate, and non-partisan information to guide best practice in the human services.

CHSR also houses the Data Management and Analytics Center (DMAC), which supports University at Albany researchers by providing consulting and more extensive services for analytical, survey design and implementation, research and methodology, and research technology needs
