Welcome to the Office of Research and Outreach
Through our Center for Public Policy, Grace E. Harris Leadership Institute, Research Institute for Social Equity, and expert faculty members, we provide cutting-edge research, consulting, and training for policymakers and the public.
Our services include leadership development and training, economic and policy impact analysis, survey insights, social equity report cards, strategic planning, program evaluations, and more. All of our programs and services are customized to meet your needs.
Our faculty members engage in a variety of disciplines, including criminal justice, homeland security and emergency preparedness, public policy and administration, and urban and regional planning. Whether they're teaching in the classroom or collaborating with community organizations, their insights shed new light on some of today's most pressing policy issues.
We look forward to getting to know you, and invite you to explore our website and reach out to us with your questions and ideas. Together, we can ensure a bright and equitable future for our community, commonwealth, and country.
The Office of Research and Outreach is a valuable partner for policymakers in Virginia. They have the broad research capacity, extensive expertise on issues and proven leadership development programs to help us confront even the most complex challenges facing our society. Working with them over the past several years has proven beneficial to my office and our work. I strongly encourage other policymakers to take advantage of this tremendous resource.
