Research
The Initiative brings together affiliates working in 13 colleges, schools, and units across campus to collaborate with each other as well as local practitioners and policymakers to advance scientific knowledge and equity in access to justice.
We provide seed funding for research-practice partnerships and support the submission and administration of internal and external grants, securing over $13 million in new awards since July 2022.
The Initiative also provides scientific and technical advice to community organizations and institutional partners and hosts a repository of data for use by scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and the public.
We also host regular workshare meetings to discuss works-in-progress.
