Partnership

While we seek to be a resource to state and local governments in a variety of ways, our key approach is the partnership model where we work with state and local governments to obtain unique administrative data that our team then uses to perform research as the basis for policy prescriptions. We aim to produce research that addresses critical topics for state and local policymakers and government agencies.
