National Policy

Through a distributed network of scholars, Sagamore influences the national policy debate through cutting edge research on vital reforms in education, welfare and health care in addition to innovative strategies to reduce crime and strengthen the economy. We combine objective scholarship and an action orientation to seek systems change, problem solving and the transfer of innovation rather than ideological or partisan battles. Just as welfare reform was born in the states and its success forged consensus for national change, Sagamore continues to serve as an intermediary between the ground-level innovators' (governors, nonprofit leaders) practice and the political and societal leaders' policymaking.
