Our Research
We produce evidence-based policy briefings, data visualizations, and working papers that quantify the national security, economic, and humanitarian returns of strategic foreign assistance. Our research follows rigorous methods, cites primary sources, and explains implications for legislative action.
Our Think Tank allows high school and college aged youth to work alongside industry experts and scholars to produce and publish the most rigorous, evidence-backed research possible. They are then able to disseminate these works to a tripartite audience of legislators and policy makers and to youth on campuses. This helps engage young minds in ways that resonate with them, thus allowing them to amplify messages within their networks, and then ultimately to the average American.
