Center for Governance and Public Policy Research

Research Proposal Development Grants

Willamette University's Center for Governance and Public Policy Research (CGPPR) works to support the policymaking process in the Northwest with high quality and timely research and analysis on topics pertaining to public policy issues. The Center is founded on the principle that collaboration and communication between the academic and policy-making communities can improve policy. In support of its mission, Center staff works with members of both communities to identify research questions, to provide support for public policy-oriented research by Willamette University faculty, and to disseminate the research results.

In addition to publishing research, the Center sponsors conferences, seminars, and workshops. It emphasizes projects that involve interdisciplinary collaboration among Willamette University faculties in the College of Liberal Arts, the College of Law, the Atkinson Graduate School of Management, and the School of Education; the Center also encourages collaboration with faculty at other universities. In support of the Willamette's educational mission, the Center aims to involve students in all stages of analysis and dissemination.

Research Proposal Development Grants

The Willamette Center for Governance and Public Policy Research invites faculty to request support for their research on governance and public policy topics. We have a preference for research with a financial component, but will consider any relevant topic. Proposal Development Grants support faculty to either (1) prepare and submit letters of interest/preliminary proposals or (2) develop a proposal for a major research grant to be carried out under the auspices of the Willamette Center for Governance and Public Policy Research. Awards range from $1000 to $5000.
