Jobs at Research Improving People's Lives

Impact and improvement can be abstract concepts. We’re committed to making them real. Imagine a social support system for America’s struggling families and communities that is more efficient, more effective and more accountable. A system where we know what works and why. A system that provides an achievable path from poverty to prosperity for all. All Americans deserve a chance to pursue their dreams. Yet, opportunity and economic mobility are elusive for many Americans living in persistently poor and disadvantaged communities. Opportunity gaps emerge at birth, with vulnerable infants facing health outcomes equivalent to those in the developing world, and continue into education, earnings, adult health, and life longevity. To make meaningful change, we must think bolder, spend smarter, and invest in solutions that deliver measurable results by breaking down the barriers that keep people from reaching their full potential. We are devoted to helping policymakers, communities, and stakeholders make the best and most-informed decisions to achieve these goals.
