Opportunity Insights supports policymakers, practitioners, and communities to use our research and data to develop evidence-based solutions for improved economic mobility.
A central part of Opportunity Insights’ mission is to train the next generation of researchers and policy leaders on methods to study and improve economic opportunity and related social problems.
Based at Harvard University, our team of researchers and policy analysts work together to analyze new data and create a platform for local stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
Opportunity Insights (OI) recently published its winter 2024 digital newsletter where you can read about our latest research developments and learn how our evidence is shaping policy and practice.
This issue includes stories about 1) new research showing how the SAT/ACT can help identify well-qualified students from lower income backgrounds, 2) ways OI’s higher education research is influencing college admissions policies, 3) the challenges of locating affordable housing in opportunity-rich neighborhoods, and 4) OI’s partnership with predoc.org to offer a summer course for undergraduate students interested in pursuing research or doctoral careers: Using Big Data to Solve Economic and Social Problems.
