formerly known as the Social Policy Institute
The Center for Social Development is a hub for implementing and testing applied social innovations that broaden well-being for individuals, families and communities. They incubate ideas that can be scaled to reach millions, and create new fields of study to enable all people to reach their potential. They also train emerging scholars and practitioners in the effective conduct of engaged social-science research.
Combining lessons from areas such as economics, business, medicine, public policy, social work, and sociology, the center provides a systems-level understanding of policy problems and promotes systems-level solutions.
