TEN FOR ONE Goal #9: Develop new pathways to help us translate our cutting-edge research into meaningful policy ideas, and become the preeminent source of academic expertise for evidence-based policymaking in service to the nation and the world.
Since the university’s earliest days, our charge has been to bring the benefits of our discoveries to the world. This credo is written into our mission, reflected in our global reach, and etched into our campus walls. As a trusted collaborator and reasoned thought partner, we have a tremendous opportunity to bring our knowledge to the world in profound new ways. In furtherance of this mission, we aim to:
Strengthen our capacity to communicate our discoveries to the world.
Make our iconic new building in Washington, D.C., a focal point for evidence-based policy development and engagement at a national and global level.
Build a pipeline for the exchange of ideas, policy solutions, and best practices between our campuses in Baltimore and Washington.
