Sixty million people are fleeing their homes, two-thirds within their own countries and the rest crossing borders to seek refuge.

We need better aid to make the greatest impact with scarce resources and overcome the challenges of modern displacement.

Since 2020, the IRC in Silver Spring experienced a 500% increase in the number of individuals we serve. The IRC in Silver Spring is committed to help refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives in the United States. We need you, our supporters in the community, to ensure the newest members of our communities thrive.

The IRC generates robust evidence across crisis-affected contexts that is based on, and contributes to, an existing body of knowledge; fills critical gaps in our understanding; and can inform decision-making and be translated into action. This document summarizes the IRC’s ongoing and completed research studies. The research presented here is organized by outcome area, with each study listed only once. However, many studies are crosscutting and could apply to more than one outcome.
