The Center for Social Policy in Practice (SPiP) is the Carsey School's applied social research hub. At SPiP, we're driven by the belief that policy has the power to close gaps by channeling resources to where they're needed most. Yet we know that policy solutions aren't one-size-fits-all; that's where our expertise comes in. We put our data skills to work collaborating with partners who want to understand the gaps left by existing policies and test solutions meant to reach people and places that are too often excluded. With a foundation of strong academic credentials, deep local roots, and a robust network of New Hampshire and New England-serving partners, we're well-positioned for impact. From bolstering early childhood education systems to improving access to local foods to tackling poverty, we're attuned to the gaps and equipped with the tools to test what works.
