Mission The Catholic University of America’s Institute for Policy Research [IPR] is an interdisciplinary policy research center whose Fellows, scholars, research associates and students provide timely analysis of policy issues relevant to the life of the Church, the University, legislators, scholars, professionals, and concerned citizens, including the media. IPR provides an interdisciplinary forum that welcomes and encourages participation and active collaboration among scholars, professionals and experts from a variety of disciplines, institutions and faith traditions. Our lectures, conferences, symposia, round-tables and working groups provide the research that supports print and electronic publications, multimedia and other means to share our research with the public, the Church, policymakers, media and interested scholars.
