By Issue Date Authors Titles Subjects Types

The Research & Policy Brief is published every other month and highlights research and policy-relevant work on a variety of important community development topics. The most current issues can be found here. CaRDI publications are designed to provide our readers with research-based, policy-relevant information to help foster dialogue at the local, regional and state-level, and to inform public and private decision-making around critical community and economic development issues.

The Research & Policy Briefs are written by university faculty, state agency representatives, and CCE Educators, among other partners and collaborators. They are free for public reproduction with proper accreditation. For questions and comments about the briefs, or any other CaRDI publication, please contact Robin Blakely-Armitage at rmb18@cornell.edu.
