The Muskie School is increasingly recognized in Maine and the nation for applying the university's analytic and research resources to important public policy issues. The scope of research activities ranges from research and policy analysis, to training and technical assistance, to demonstration projects that design and test innovative program and policy strategies. This past year the School brought in over $32 million in grant and contract awards for research projects in every state in the nation. The majority of the School's research is centered in the School's three research institutes: the Catherine E. Cutler Institute for Child & Family, the Institute for Health Policy, and the Institute for Public Sector Innovation.
