Research
Over the past few years, SIT has already successfully built up a quite dynamic and high-leveled academic team, engaged in both teaching activities and scientific research with quite a number of outstanding guides in the course of key disciplines and master teachers in core courses for different programs. The past few years have witnessed such substantial progress in scientific research that SIT has been repeatedly awarded prizes covering the Progress in Scientific Research and Success in Educational Research at the state, ministerial or municipal levels. Presently, SIT has been undertaking numerous projects of National Natural Science Foundation (NSF), the earlier stage programs of National Basic Research Program, Shanghai Natural Science Foundation, Shanghai Municipal Dawn Plan and other projects at provincial and municipal levels.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“I did my research and decided I just had to live it.”
—Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)
