Advertising and Sponsorship Options SRA advertisement and sponsorship is a perfect way to target your communication to the social research community; individual researchers; partner organisations; clients; and agencies. The benefits for you There is no other organisation that communicates directly with social researchers working in a diverse range of sectors such as: central and local government departments; voluntary and community organisations; research centres and institutes; the commercial and independent sector; freelancers; and, universities and related institutes. A high proportion of SRA members are under the age of thirty five and likely to be looking for career opportunities.
