Institute for Policy Research

The Institute for Policy Research conducts university-based, nonpartisan research. Partnering with other organizations to meet specific research needs, the institute tackles projects that range from voting habits to discovering employment obstacles facing persons with disabilities. The institute also conducts a yearly statewide survey to determine the priorities that Hoosiers want their legislators to address. To complete these tasks, the center relies on Bowen Center Distinguished Fellows and academic scholars across the nation.
