We bridge the gap between pressing real-world policy challenges and the academic researchers best placed to address them — creating partnerships that generate both rigorous evidence and lasting impact.
Many governments and organizations know they need evidence but don't know where to start. Finding the right academic partner — one who understands your context, timeline, and constraints — is difficult and time-consuming.
We manage that process. We translate your policy challenge into a research question, identify candidates from our global network of economists and policy scientists, and facilitate the partnership from introduction to published results.
Tell us your challengeAcademic researchers often struggle to access the institutional relationships, administrative data, and policy buy-in needed to conduct rigorous field experiments. We solve that problem.
By joining our network, you gain access to a pipeline of government and organizational partners with genuine policy questions — and a team that handles the logistical complexity of field research so you can focus on the science.
Join our networkOur matchmaking process is structured to ensure the right fit — methodologically, contextually, and practically.
We work with the policymaker to articulate the research question precisely and identify the type of evidence needed.
We search our network and beyond for researchers whose expertise, methodology, and availability match the project's needs.
We structure the collaboration — roles, timelines, data access, publication rights — and manage the relationship throughout.
We ensure research findings are translated into clear, actionable policy recommendations — not left in an academic journal.
Whether you're a policymaker with a question or a researcher looking for field access — we'd love to hear from you.
