       The fundamental goal of IEI is to advance our ability to understand and manage the issues and problems swirling around immigration and ethnicity. IEI intends to achieve this goal through coupling research and training with south Florida's ethnic organizations. IEI has conducted major research projects with funding from the National Science Foundation, the Andrew Mellon Foundation and the Carnegie Corporation. The projects have both trained graduate students and produced important scientific papers.
