Florida International University, Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy

Florida International University’s Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy aims to connect the University’s academics and research to the broader community.  Guided by a mission to improve the lives of working people and their families, the Institute focuses on three core activities:  1) Conducting non-partisan social science, law, and policy research on issues that impact low-wage, immigrant, marginalized, and middle income workers and their families; 2) Serving the research and support needs of social justice, community, and labor organizations; and 3) Building community collaboration to address issues facing working people.
