By engaging faculty from the social and behavioral sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, IBS encourages work that goes beyond disciplinary boundaries, illuminates the complexity of social behavior and social life, and that has important implications for social policy. IBS is connected to a wide variety of academic departments from Anthropology, History, Economics, Environmental Studies, Geography, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, Women and Gender Studies, and more.

IBS is home to 12 programs and centers including the Prevention Science Program, Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence, Natural Hazards Center, and the Rocky Mountain Research Data Center. While IBS has historical strengths in research related to population, the environment, violence prevention, health, and international issues, it also embraces scholarship on well-being and resilience, archaeology, and behavioral genetics, among myriad other topics.
