Faculty members, fellows, and graduate students at the Humphrey Institute conduct research on myriad public policy issues. Our research and outreach centers serve as focal points for collaborative problem solving, engaging the academic and broader community to examining and proposing possibilities to address public policy issues.

Much of this work is available to the interested public by contacting the specific centers. A sample of current research can be found below.

• Read an evaluation by the Center for School Change of the first 20 years of Minnesota's Post-secondary Enrollment Options Act-has it helped to expand educational opportunities for high school students?

• Learn more about value pricing and how it is working in the I-394 corridor west of Minneapolis in this new research by the State and Local Policy Program.

• Last fall, the center for Science, technology, and Public Policy hosted a major conference on the policy implications of nanotechnology. Read the workshop report on models for oversight of the biology-nanotechnology interface.
