Policymaking in the United States has become reactive, opinion driven, and overly political.
Many decision-makers and those supporting them lack a deep understanding of evidence-based approaches and the high-quality research needed to drive sustainable, long-lasting results in the public and private sectors.
RIPE supports policymaking the way it should be done. Our work is defined by the following principles:
Data drives policy
Good policies start with high quality evidence.
Proactivity > Reactivity
We take a forward-thinking approach to policymaking, positioning our clients to lead rather than react.
Bold Thinking
We are lifelong learners, always questioning how policymaking can work better for the people you serve.
