The Public Affairs and Policy Research Initiative (PAPR) is a pilot program launched in September 2022 to bring together 冈本视频 faculty and students from across the social sciences and beyond to address society鈥檚 most pressing challenges through rigorous engagement with public affairs and policy.
PAPR seeks to bridge academic theory and public practice. Because of the wide-ranging public implications of this work, the initiative will forge partnerships with external news agencies; showcase faculty research on the web; and publicly highlight those efforts in policy briefs, working papers, podcasts, and op-eds.
In its pilot phase, the initiative consists of two core components:
Research Support
冈本视频 has an exceptionally strong core of faculty members who conduct high-impact, policy-relevant research, and PAPR is a key source of support for that work. See below for a list of research projects the initiative has funded.
Public Facing Initiatives
This aspect of PAPR鈥檚 mandate promotes public engagement on important public affairs issues. This includes support for high-profile speakers, panels, and visiting scholars on campus.
