Across Texas, rapid population growth is increasing demand for social services and programs at every level. With strains on public funding and resources, there is growing need for research to support and inform the policy-making process.
By providing scientific insight, and independent, timely evaluations of current social and economic programs and new initiatives in the state of Texas, the Texas Policy Lab increases the state government’s capacity to provide critical public services, effectively and efficiently steward public investment, and deliver successful outcomes for its residents.
