Welcome to the Sagamore Institute!
Welcome to the Sagamore Institute for Policy Research, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank headquartered in Indianapolis. Sagamore Institute is committed to what is known as "applied research"-research that actually puts theories and ideas to the test in the real world by working alongside practitioners and finding out what works, what doesn't and why. We borrow our name from an Algonquin word used to designate someone who grapples with serious questions, builds consensus, and offers wisdom and advice. It is thus our intention to wrestle with hard issues, to be a meeting place for disparate groups, and to offer wise counsel for a world in progress.
