Poverty Studies

2010-01-12T17:25:00.000-08:00

What I'll have to do after the american universities is look for continental interests - see if compare or contrast - then I'll look at econocrats and at PRSP trends, and then I'll look at political folks - official things at UN and stuff - and then I'll note civil society, subaltern, and critical trends. I don't know what to do with their "think tanks" - what are their angles? they are divided from government funded and public interest and universities... so what are they? will have to look more into ND's cateogrizations and my own after mass.

Notre Dame (minor) http://www.nd.edu/~poverty/index.shtml

It's a little out of date - 2007. See this blurb and the associations with the Shepherd Centre:

Play a Part in Something Bigger

The minor in Poverty Studies is closely affiliated with the Shepherd program, which was instituted by the Shepherd Consortium, a group of ten diverse institutions of higher education united by a common educational mission: integration of curricular and co-curricular interdisciplinary and discipline-based study sustained over at least two years focusing on poverty and human capabilities.

The Shepherd program requires the same courses as the minor in Poverty Studies. Its signature internship program fulfills experiential learning credits for the minor.

The Shepherd Program, Minor in Poverty Studies, and Center for Social Concerns, also collaborate on an annual lecture series, which will be announced later in the 2007-08 school year.

Other University-Funded Poverty Research Centers

Public Interest Research Organizations

Think Tanks

Other University-Funded Poverty Research Centers

Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development

Mandel School of Applied Social Science

Case Western Reserve University

http://povertycenter.case.edu

The Center on Urban Poverty and Community Development seeks to address the problems of persistent and concentrated urban poverty and is dedicated to understanding how social and economic changes affect low-income communities and their residents. Based in Cleveland, the Center views the city as both a tool for building communities and producing change locally, and as a representative urban center from which nationally-relevant research and policy implications can be drawn.

Center for Poverty, Work and Opportunity

UNC School of Law

University of North Carolina

http://www.law.unc.edu/centers/poverty/default.aspx

The UNC Center for Poverty, Work and Opportunity will create a forum for the best minds in the state and the nation to work on issues of poverty, work and opportunity. The Center has four goals: first, to address the pressing needs of those currently living at or below the poverty level; second, to provide a non-partisan interdisciplinary forum to examine innovative and practical ideas to move more Americans out of poverty; third, to raise public awareness of issues related to work and poverty; and fourth to train a new generation to combat the causes and effects of poverty and to improve the circumstances of working people.

The National Center for Children in Poverty

Columbia University

http://www.nccp.org

Founded in 1989 as a division of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, the National Center for Children in Poverty (NCCP) is dedicated to promoting the economic security, health, and well-being of America’s low-income families and children. NCCP uses research to inform policy and practice with the goal of ensuring positive outcomes for the next generation. It promotes family-oriented solutions at the state and national levels.

Center on Business and Poverty

The Puelicher Center on Business Education

UW-Madison School of Business

http://www.cobap.org/

The goal of the Center on Business and Poverty, an initiative of the UW-Madison School of Business, is to support and disseminate high-quality research into ways in which businesses can help globally improve the long-term economic stability and well-being of their low-income employees. The Center also monitors and evaluates the efforts of businesses to address issues around 1) compensation and benefits for employees, and 2) environmental practices. Of these priorities, the Center focuses most on cooperating with and actively disseminating information to companies to help them make changes in their policies and practices related to low-income employees.

The Center for Study of Urban Poverty

University of California Los Angeles

http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/csup/index.php

Established in 1989, CSUP's primary mission is to encourage and facilitate academic research into the causes and consequences of urban poverty and the effectiveness of policies aimed at alleviating poverty. The Center's research agenda focuses on three broad issues: poverty in Los Angeles, the working poor, and transition to work/disadvantaged low skill workers.

Center on Hunger and Poverty

Heller School for Social Policy and Management

Brandeis University

http://www.centeronhunger.org/

The Center on Hunger and Poverty promotes policies that improve the lives of low-income children and families. Center activities include research and policy analysis, public education initiatives, assistance to policy makers and organizations across the country on poverty- and hunger-related issues, and a series of special projectsPublic Interest Research Organizations

Think Tanks

Starting to generalize - I can say that some key issues (in american programs) are urban poverty, work, business, hunger, and child poverty (this is consonant with many themes I've come across in my more grinding researches).

Now the public interest one is quite interesting:

Public Interest Research Organizations

Law

The Southern Poverty Law Center

http://www.splcenter.org/

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an non-profit legal organization, whose stated purpose is to combat racism and promote civil rights through research, education, and litigation. The SPLC fights all forms of discrimination and works to protect society's most vulnerable members, handling innovative cases that few lawyers are willing to take.

The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law

http://povertylaw.org

Like its founder, Sargent Shriver, The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law believes that “the law can help get the poor out of poverty.” It embraces a bold advocacy agenda that includes policy development and modern communications, resulting in improved lives for low-wage workers, families with greater economic security, and neighborhoods that preserve opportunities for low-income individuals.

Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC)

http://www.vplc.org/

Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC) is a not-for-profit organization concentrating in the areas of law that affect low-income families. Established in 1978 to advocate on behalf of low-income Virginians on poverty issues of statewide importance, VPLC is the only state-wide organization providing training to local legal aid program staff, private bar attorneys, and low-income clients, relating exclusively to the legal rights of Virginia's poor.

National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty

http://www.nlchp.org/

The mission of NLCHP is to prevent and end homelessness by serving as the legal arm of the nationwide movement to end homelessness. To achieve its mission, the organization pursues three main strategies: impact litigation; policy advocacy; and public education.

NLCHP strives to place homelessness in the larger context of poverty. By taking this approach, the organization aims to address homelessness as a very visible manifestation of deeper causes, including the shortage of affordable housing, insufficient income, and inadequate social services.

Maria Foscarinis, a lawyer who has been working to end homelessness at the national level since 1985, established NLCHP in 1989.

Think Tanks

The Brookings Institute

http://www.brookings.edu/

The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. Our mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations that advance three broad goals:

* Strengthen American democracy;

* Foster the economic and social welfare, security and opportunity of all Americans; &

* Secure a more open, safe, prosperous and cooperative international system.

The Urban Institute

http://www.urban.org/

To promote sound social policy and public debate on national priorities, the Urban Institute gathers and analyzes data, conducts policy research, evaluates programs and services, and educates Americans on critical issues and trends.

In the mid-1960s, President Johnson saw the need for independent nonpartisan analysis of the problems facing America's cities and their residents. The President created a blue-ribbon commission of civic leaders who recommended chartering a center to do that work. In 1968, the Urban Institute became that center.

Today, we analyze policies, evaluate programs, and inform community development to improve social, civic, and economic well-being. We work in all 50 states and abroad in over 28 countries, and we share our research findings with policymakers, program administrators, business, academics, and the public online and through reports and scholarly books.

Our Commitments

* Use rigorous, state-of-the-art methods to analyze public policies and programs

* Bring sound objective evidence to public policy decisions

* Deepen public understanding of policy issues

* Save government and communities time and money through research on effective and efficient programs

* Work to make our Washington, D.C., metropolitan area a stronger community

Mathematica

http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/

For more than 35 years, Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., has been known for its high-quality, objective research to support decisions about our nation's most pressing social policy problems. The firm has conducted some of the most important studies of health care, welfare, education, employment, nutrition, and early childhood policies and programs in the United States. This research, which crisscrosses the human life span from children's health and welfare to long-term care for elderly people, provides a sound foundation for decisions that affect the well-being of Americans.

MRDC

http://www.mdrc.org/index.htm

Created in 1974 by the Ford Foundation and a group of federal agencies, MDRC is best known for mounting large-scale evaluations of real-world policies and programs targeted to low-income people. We helped pioneer the use of random assignment — the same highly reliable methodology that is used to test new medicines — in the evaluation of such policies and programs. In some cases, we work with others to design path -breaking initiatives and then subject those initiatives to rigorous testing. In other cases, we conduct careful evaluations of programs designed and operated by government agencies or others.

Over the years, MDRC has brought its unique approach to an ever-growing range of policy areas and target populations. Once known primarily for evaluations of state welfare-to-work programs, today MDRC is also studying public school reforms, employment programs for ex-prisoners and people with disabilities, and programs to help low-income people succeed in college. We have worked in nearly every state and most major cities; we also helped create a sister organization in Canada and are currently managing a large project in the United Kingdom with British partners. The five main policy areas in which we work, illustrate the breadth and diversity of our current projects. Those areas include:

* Promoting Family Well-Being and Child Development

* Improving Public Education

* Promoting Successful Transitions to Adulthood

* Supporting Low-Wage Workers and Communities

* Overcoming Barriers to Employment

Center for Budget and Policy

http://www.cbpp.org/

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is a non-profit think tank which describes itself as a "policy organization ... working at the federal and state levels on fiscal policy and public programs that affect low- and moderate-income families and individuals." Based in Washington, D.C., CBPP was founded in 1981 by Robert Greenstein, who continues to serve as executive director and has a budget of about $13 million.

Since 1993, CBPP has worked to build capacity for state budget and policy analysis through its State Fiscal Analysis Initiative (SFAI), a network of independent state level organizations; as of 2006, SFAI had 29 members. CBPP established the International Budget Project in 1997 to help organizations in new democracies (such as former Soviet republics) and developing countries conduct budget analysis aimed at making these countries’ budget systems more open and responsive.

Economic Policy Institute

http://www.epi.org/

EPI conducts original research on economic issues, makes policy recommendations based on its findings, and disseminates its work to the appropriate audiences.

Its research is focused on four main economic areas:

* Living standards/labor markets

* Government and the economy

* Globalization and trade

* Education

Within these categories, its work spans the full range of economic issues, such as trends in wages, incomes, and prices; part-time and contingent "nonstandard" work; welfare reform; labor market problems; work organization; budget, tax, and fiscal policies; health care; education; the consumer price index; Medicare; Social Security; rural and urban policies; state-level economic development strategies; trade and global finance; comparative international economic performance; the health of manufacturing and other key sectors; competitiveness, jobs, and the environment; and urban sprawl, to name a few. Its research is varied, but a common thread runs through it: EPI examines issues through a "living standards" lens by analyzing the impact of policies and initiatives on the American public.

Employment Policies Institute

http://www.epionline.org/

The Employment Policies Institute is a non-profit research organization dedicated to studying public policy issues surrounding employment growth. In particular, EPI focuses on issues that affect entry-level employment.

Among other issues, EPI research has quantified the impact of new labor costs on job creation, explored the connection between entry-level employment and welfare reform, and analyzed the demographic distribution of mandated benefits. EPI sponsors nonpartisan research which is conducted by independent economists at major universities around the country.

The Heritage Foundation

http://www.heritage.org/

The Heritage Foundation is a unique institution-a public policy research organization, or "think tank". We draw solutions to contemporary problems from the ideas, principles and traditions that make America great.

We are not afraid to begin our sentences with the words "We believe," because we do believe: in individual liberty, free enterprise, limited government, a strong national defense, and traditional American values.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation

http://www.aecf.org/

Founded in 1948, the primary mission of the Annie E. Casey Foundation is to foster public policies, human-service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today’s vulnerable children and families. In pursuit of this goal, the Foundation makes grants that help states, cities, and neighborhoods fashion more innovative, cost-effective responses to these needs.

Children’s Defense Fund

http://www.childrensdefense.org/site/PageServer

The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) studies the lives of American children and the challenges they face. Our research informs the Leave No Child Behind® Movement to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start, and a Moral Start.

In addition to our signature programs, CDF staff members advocate for children in the following areas:

* Child Welfare and Mental Health

* Early Childhood Development

* Child Health

* Youth Development

* Family Income

* Budget Analysis

The CATO Institute

http://www.cato.org/

The Cato Institute was founded in 1977 by Edward H. Crane. It is a non-profit public policy research foundation headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Institute is named for Cato's Letters, a series of libertarian pamphlets that helped lay the philosophical foundation for the American Revolution.

The Cato Institute seeks to broaden the parameters of public policy debate to allow consideration of the traditional American principles of limited government, individual liberty, free markets and peace. Toward that goal, the Institute strives to achieve greater involvement of the intelligent, concerned lay public in questions of policy and the proper role of government.

The RAND Corporation

http://www.rand.org/

The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis.

For nearly 60 years, decisionmakers in the public and private sectors have turned to the RAND Corporation for objective analysis and effective solutions that address the challenges facing the nation and the world. These challenges include such critical social and economic issues as education, poverty, crime, and the environment, as well as a range of national security issues.

RAND researchers and analysts continue to be on the cutting edge of their fields, working with decisionmakers in both the public and private sectors to find solutions to today's difficult, sensitive, and important problems. The high caliber of our researchers is well-known, as evidenced by the many Nobel Laureates who have been affiliated with RAND, either as employees, consultants, or in an advisory capacity.

Through our dedication to high-quality and objective research and analysis and with sophisticated analytical tools developed over many years, RAND engages clients to create knowledge, insight, information, options, and solutions that will be both effective and enduring.

The Hoover Institute

http://www.hoover.org/

The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace, Stanford University, is a public policy research center devoted to advanced study of politics, economics, and political economy—both domestic and foreign—as well as international affairs. With its world-renowned group of scholars and ongoing programs of policy-oriented research, the Hoover Institution puts its accumulated knowledge to work as a prominent contributor to the world marketplace of ideas defining a free society.
