our model

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