Center for Applied Research at Tulane SoPA 

Established in 2023, the Center for Applied Research is housed within the John Lewis Public Administration Program in the Tulane School of Professional Advancement. The center serves as a valuable community resource that further demonstrates the role of the John Lewis Public Administration Program as a pipeline for civic leadership talent and offers an opportunity to bolster student and faculty engagement with community organizations through research that aligns with existing capstones, internships, residencies, and other program learning activities. The center is focused on addressing our society’s most pressing questions and informing emerging solutions in real time.
