Company Overview
Established in 2012 by Susan Dynarski and Brian Jacob, the Education Policy Initiative at the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy brings together nationally-recognized education policy scholars focused on reducing socio-economic disparities through improvements in education and other policies affecting youth. We strive to achieve this by developing and disseminating evidence-based, policy-relevant research in partnership with local and state agencies, practitioners and policymakers. With deep expertise and a passion for directly engaging with decision-makers, Dynarski and Jacob lead a team poised to deliver groundbreaking answers to some of education’s most challenging questions.
