The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) has both a national and a state presence with Wisconsin-focused efforts across research and outreach.
Research
IRP has cooperative research agreements with several Wisconsin state agencies and IRP Affiliates are involved in a broad array of state and local evaluations and technical assistance efforts. Among our Wisconsin-focused efforts are:
- a long history of child support policy research for the Bureau of Child Support in the Department of Children and Families;
- WADC, an integrated data system harmonizing administrative data from five state agencies;
- health policy research focused on health care access, cost, and quality in Wisconsin.
Outreach
IRP collaborates with many state and local organizations to support Wisconsinites through resources and outreach activities. Partnerships and initiatives include:
- collaborative outreach and learning efforts with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension
- Wisconsin Poverty Research Network.
In addition to linking to key Wisconsin projects, this page contains links to all of IRP’s Wisconsin-focused products and to other resources on poverty in Wisconsin.
