About

The Urban Institute’s Equity Scholars Program empowers scholars to deepen their research on race, equity, and structural racism. These scholars collaborate with our Office of Race and Equity Research to produce and support research across Urban’s policy centers and with our Racial Equity Analytics Lab.

Over two years, scholars analyze the effects of structural racism on people and places, offer evidence-based solutions, and share their insights with decisionmakers. This work contributes to Urban’s expanding body of equity-focused research and advances the equity field.
