Groundbreaking poverty alleviation project expands with new Arnold Ventures, J-PAL North America collaboration

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/groundbreaking-poverty-alleviation-project-expands-with-new-arnold-ventures-j-pal-north-america-collaboration/

Groundbreaking poverty alleviation project expands with new Arnold Ventures, J-PAL North America collaboration

J-PAL North America, a regional office of MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), will significantly expand its work to conduct rigorous research and strengthen evidence-based policymaking due to a new grant from long-time supporter and collaborator Arnold Ventures.  

With Arnold Ventures’ new eight-figure grant over seven years, J-PAL North America aims to:

substantially expand the evidence base on effective solutions to poverty;

build the capacity and increase the diversity of its network of over 265 expert researchers;

institutionalize the use of evidence among nonprofits and policymakers; and

accelerate the rate and scale at which evidence influences policy. 

Furthermore, J-PAL North America will leverage these funds to deepen its work centering racial and economic equity across our research network, the field of economics, and social policy. 

“J-PAL’s mission is to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence. We recognize that poverty is a pressing and complex issue, so we work to identify and scale solutions across various sectors, including education, health, and labor. This support from Arnold Ventures will take our work to the next level, creating new pathways for generating evidence, informing policy, and impacting lives,” says J-PAL North America Co-Executive Director Vincent Quan. “We are thrilled about this groundbreaking, expanded collaboration with Arnold Ventures on strengthening the evidence-informed ecosystem as we enter J-PAL North America’s second decade.” 

A long-standing collaboration for evidence-based solutions
