Stanford Affiliates

The goal of the Stanford Impact Labs’ affiliate network is to build a community that shares a common mission to tackle tough social problems using science to inform both policy and practice.

Affiliate Network Goals:

• Strengthen connections of individuals and teams involved in this work across the Stanford campus. 
• Elevate and share the narrative of this community’s work through a common brand and platform. 
• Provide affiliated labs with programming and resources relevant to their work, including resources offering guidance on administrative, legal, HR, and communications needs.

All members of our affiliate network share a belief in the power of research to fuel real-world impact. In particular, Stanford Impact Labs affiliates share a commitment to: 

• Problem-focused research
• Working in partnership with leaders in the public, non-profit, or private sectors
• Focusing on impact (e.g. new policies, programs, practices, or products) beyond the production of knowledge alone.

We regularly update affiliates on internal funding opportunities and Stanford Impact Labs-sponsored events. We may also invite affiliates to participate in our review processes.
