Center Research

Featured Work

The Colorado Minnesota Disparity Study Consortium, a project of the Wilkins Center, specializes in conducting rigorous, objective analyses of discrimination against minorities and women so that public agencies can meet both the letter and the spirit of the law. Using pioneering tools and well-tested techniques, the Consortium's experts and legal consultants help state and local entities achieve their goals in developing race- and ethnic-based affirmative action programs that comply with federal regulatory and constitutional requirements.

 

 

 

 

 

The Status of Women & Girls in Minnesota project is an ongoing collaborative research partnership between the Humphrey School's Center on Women and Public Policy and the Women's Foundation of Minnesota that systematically examines key indicators for women and girls in Minnesota, thereby raising public awareness of issues important to the lives of women and girls.

 

 

 

 

Housed at the Humphrey School, the Human Capital Research Collaborative, sponsored by the University of Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, fosters multidisciplinary research on child development and social policy from birth through young adulthood. Recent studies include Assessing the Validity of Minnesota School Readiness Indicators.

 

The Women in Science and Technology Policy Project is an NSF-funded collaborative research preoject between two areas at the Humphrey School, Women and Public Policy and Science, Technology and Public Policy, Boston University, and Georgia Institute of Technology.
