our model

Each policy center partners with an established organization, like a think tank, a government agency, or a nonprofit, to conduct research into local or national policy. In the past, we have consulted with: The Brookings Institute, The Center for Strategic and International Studies, The Connecticut Policy Institute, New Haven Public Schools, and the Carnegie Institute. These organizations ensure that the research conducted by the Yale Policy Institute is either published or internally utilized by the partner organization.
