Funded Research Projects
CPR's raison d'être is to help faculty accomplish their research goals with as much internal support and as little external interference as is consistent with its position in our student-centered research institution. Because good research in applied public policy needs time and money, one of CPR's main goals is to raise enough external support to meet faculty needs for time away from the classroom; computing; and copying; mail, and other dissemination vehicles. Moreover, external research support contributes significantly to the size and quality of the graduate programs in economics, public administration, sociology, and political science by our monetary support of their graduate students.
