Summer at CPI 

Have you ever wondered what summer at CPI is like? We're a beehive of activity as student researchers work with us on our Baby Bonds, guaranteed income, social mobility, and other projects. Every Tuesday at noon, one of our teams reports on their projects and the problems they're facing, and we brainstorm together to make headway. It's 'engaged science' in action!

 

Come Visit Us 

The CPI welcomes applications from international and domestic graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and faculty to visit us. Although we cannot provide funding for visits, we welcome scholars interested in joining one of our research teams on poverty measurement, social mobility, guaranteed income, Baby Bonds, and more. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Laura Somers at lfsomers@stanford.edu.
