Research and Projects

Research and Projects

ASAP research projects connect chapter networks, early-career researchers, and public-facing scholarship so evidence can shape institutional reform and poverty policy.

Linking Academics and Researchers

The Global Colleagues project matches early career researchers in the Global South with more senior researchers at well-resourced universities in the Global North or South. Over a year, they form a partnership and develop activities tailored to the research goals of the pairing.

Impact Interviews

Impact Interviews share information and best practices from academic efforts to influence poverty policy and civil society around the world. The series combines interviews and articles that explore how academics achieve positive impact through research, advocacy, and on-the-ground interventions.

Institutional Reform Goals (IRG)

IRG is an ambitious research and advocacy project that aims to reform the global institutions and regulations that perpetuate poverty, with linked focus areas including illicit financial flows, trade, debt, migration, labor standards, and climate change.
