Policy Development and Guidance
What We Do
Our team has decades of experience drawing from research to identify areas of need, develop novel policies, recommend effective strategies, and inform well-grounded decision-making.
Cultivate new ideas
We collaborate with partners nationwide to cultivate new ideas for innovative and evidence-informed violence prevention policies.
Recommend policies and prevention strategies
We contribute subject matter expertise to efforts making and disseminating evidence-based policy recommendations.
Evaluate and strengthen current practices
In addition to our own policy evaluation studies, we apply our research skills to collaborate with county governments and others on the design, implementation, and evaluation of violence prevention measures. This helps us determine effectiveness of current interventions and how to improve them.
Serve on commissions and advisory groups
By providing guidance to community leaders, lawmakers, and other change-makers, we help strengthen their ability to make informed decisions.
Brief decision-makers
We brief policymakers at the local, state, and national levels on the most recent research and how research findings can be applied to help their constituencies flourish.
