Mission

Partnering with communities to put social science to work for society.

We do this by:

  • Investing to learn what works in designing, testing, and scaling solutions
  • Training scholars and practitioners to harness data and evidence for impact
  • Promoting a culture of public impact in higher education

 

Vision

We envision a world where measurable and meaningful solutions to social problems are co-created by change agents from impacted communities; the public, private, and social sectors; and higher education.
