The Center for Latino Policy Research (CLPR) was founded in 1989 in response to the research and policy challenges of limited educational and economic opportunities facing the Latino/Chicano population.
CLPR is committed to sponsoring research efforts that have a direct policy impact on the Latino/Chicano population in the United States.
While CLPR will support policy research in any field in which there is strong faculty or student interest, our current research foci are in the areas of higher education access, migration, and political/civic participation. To this end, CLPR provides training and research opportunities for faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students; disseminates policy-relevant research publications; and conducts outreach meetings for campus faculty and administrators, public officials, non-profit agencies, advocacy groups, and the general public.
