Its work focuses on areas including research on child maltreatment and sexualized violence, child and youth welfare, aging and care, work, and basic research.

Direct peers

• Deutsches Jugendinstitut (DJI): Germany's largest extra-university child and youth welfare research institute, conducting commissioned empirical research for federal and state governments. Closely comparable to IPP's Kinder- und Jugendhilfe focus, methodology (qualitative/quantitative social research), and institutional commissioning model, though at significantly larger scale.
• ISO Institut für Sozialforschung und Sozialwirtschaft: Independent social research institute in Saarbrücken doing commissioned evaluations and applied research in social policy, child welfare, and care. Closely comparable to IPP in mission, non-profit/independent extra-university status, and commissioned-evaluation business model for German welfare-sector clients.
• infas Institut für angewandte Sozialforschung: German applied social research institute conducting commissioned surveys, evaluations, and empirical studies for public-sector clients. Comparable to IPP as a German applied social research provider serving government and institutional commissioners, though larger and more survey-focused.
• Kriminologisches Forschungsinstitut Niedersachsen (KFN): Independent criminological research institute in Lower Saxony doing empirical research on crime, violence, and abuse, including victimization surveys and institutional studies. Directly comparable to IPP's violence and abuse research methodology and German non-university research institute status.
• Institut für interdisziplinäre Konflikt- und Gewaltforschung (IKG), Bielefeld University: Interdisciplinary institute focused on research into conflict and violence at German universities and institutions, including power abuse and discrimination. Highly comparable topical focus to IPP's investigations of Machtmissbrauch and sexualisierte Gewalt, using similar empirical social-science methods.
• Institut für Sozialforschung (IfS) Frankfurt: Long-standing Frankfurt-based social science research institute with comparable independent, critical-theory tradition of commissioned social research. Comparable in function as an extra-university social research entity doing theoretical and empirical work on society, though with a broader academic rather than institutional-investigation focus than IPP.

Broad incumbents

• WZB Berlin Social Science Center: Major Leibniz-associated German social science research institute conducting broad interdisciplinary research on society, inequality, education, and democracy. Comparable to IPP as a large German non-university social research institute, though substantially broader in topic and much larger in scale.
• GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: Germany's largest infrastructure institute for the social sciences, providing survey methodology, data services, and applied research across the discipline. Comparable to IPP only at the broadest level as a German extra-university social science research entity; vastly larger and methodological rather than substantive in orientation.

Regional players

• Österreichisches Institut für Familienforschung (ÖIF): Austrian national family research institute at the University of Vienna conducting applied research and commissioned studies on family, children, and welfare for Austrian federal and state clients. Comparable in function as a small applied social research provider for public welfare institutions in IPP's Austrian market.

Emerging players

• SINUS Markt- und Sozialforschung: Heidelberg-based social and market research institute working on social milieus, education, and migration. Partial overlap with IPP's social research orientation and commissioned-study model, but more market-research oriented and less focused on institutional abuse/violence work.
