We believe that smart, strategic partnerships with government have the potential to improve people’s lives.
So we listen to our state and local government partners to understand the most pressing challenges they face.
Then, we activate the research community to work with those partners to generate insights.

When we do this, we create powerful partnerships that drive change, improving the lives of Colorado residents.
