COBE Lab Research Contributors

The COBE Lab is a collaborative environment dedicated to rigorous policy analysis and impactful research. We are proud to work with a talented group of Master of Public Policy (MPP) students who contribute to every stage of the research process. Students partner with community organizations on participant recruitment, conduct data collection and analysis, and co-author manuscripts. Our work produces working papers, peer-reviewed journal publications, and policy and research briefs. Students are credited on these outputs, gaining hands-on research experience and tangible products for their professional portfolios. We share our findings with our community partners and present our research at academic and policy conferences.
