Our research strategy focuses on identifying topics that place ISPU squarely in the public discourse, allowing us to address and debate the issues concerning all Americans. By contributing to the scholarly debate ISPU intends to expand the breadth of discussion regarding public policy.

To this end ISPU scholars provide cutting-edge analysis and policy solutions through publications, public events, media commentary, and community outreach. Our multidisciplinary work in partnership with universities and other research institutes serves to build understanding and create programs that effect lasting social change.

ISPU's primary research projects are categorized into three broad areas. Each of the programs: Domestic Policy, Foreign Policy and Tolerance & Understanding analyzes current and emerging issues facing the United States.
