Services

The University of Nebraska Public Policy Center is a well-known and respected institution that has worked with not only academics but also all branches of the government at all levels- local, state and federal. We have impacted policy-relevant change throughout the state as well as nationally. The Public Policy Center creates effective partnerships, conducts policy-relevant research, facilitates public participation and can deploy University expertise. Center researchers come from diverse disciplines including business, economics, law, political science, psychology and sociology and can offer advice based not only on knowledge, but also from experience.

Benefits of partnering with Center researchers include:

  • Emphasis on Excellence – the Center regularly receives high praise for high quality research and processes completed within timeframes and budgets.
  • Innovative Research Partners – Center researchers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds and methodologies. We have expertise in applying quantitative and qualitative research methods in theoretical research, empirical studies, and evaluations. Our researchers are regularly invited to present at national conferences and publish findings in scholarly journals.
  • Well-Designed Policy Processes and Programs – Center researchers are committed to using the best evidence-based practices to bear upon the problems that vex our communities, state, and nation. We are researchers who enjoy working with policymakers and communities to define the issue, determine optimal alternatives for resolving the issue, and evaluating results. Center researchers value the uncommon results that can be achieved when researchers work with people who know and live the issues in which we become involved.
