Students from IUPUI can put their research and data analysis skills to use to make real change for community organizations in Indianapolis.
Applications are open now through November 7 for students to join the research team at the Center for Research on Inclusion and Social Policy’s Research and Evaluation Clinic in the spring 2022 semester.
The team of student researchers is overseen by CRISP’s Director of Evaluation and CRISP Clinic Director Roxy Lawrence.

“Joining the CRISP Clinic team provides students the opportunity to make a tangible difference in our community,” Lawrence explains. “These students aren’t waiting until they’ve graduated to make an impact—they’re gaining real-world research and evaluation experience, building their networks, and contributing to efforts to make Marion County a more equitable place.”
Those selected will work in teams to learn about local issues and conduct an original community-engaged research or evaluation project. Each project includes work with a community partner who is actively addressing major social issues in Marion County. Students will have the opportunity to develop relationships with community leaders and learn more about how issues of social policy and equity intersect and affect people living in Indianapolis.
