Connecting Public Policy & Academic Research for Rhode island
The mission of the College & University Research Collaborative (the Collaborative) is to increase the use of non-partisan academic research in policymaking and to provide an evidence-based foundation for government decision making in Rhode Island. To do that, we tap into the wealth of expertise that resides at our state’s 11 colleges and universities, creating a public/private partnership that moves research into action.
Current Research Initiatives
The Collaborative works with members of the Governor’s Office, the Rhode Island Senate, the Rhode Island House of Representatives, and the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation to determine research areas which will inform public policy. This year, scholars will focus their research on economic development in the state.
