The Urban Institute is engaged in research on many pressing issues of the day. Going further in depth than fact sheets, Issues in Focus provides facts and findings on selected programs and topics of particular relevance to policymakers, researchers, and other interested parties.
In traditional interview format, our experts talk about the nature of their work, offer insights on what they've learned, and describe the personal goals that keep them going.
The development and use of models, surveys, cost-benefit and trend analyses help Urban Institute researchers gauge policy proposals' probable impacts on people's lives, as well as costs to government.
