Morrison Institute Highlights

  • Morrison Institute Housing Research

    Arizona Community Foundation generously funded Morrison Institute for Public Policy to examine issues related to housing insecurity in Arizona. Here you will find all of the Morrison Institute research conducted as part of this project. New research will be added throughout 2021 and 2022.

  • The First Forty Years

    Written by journalist Jennifer Dokes, this 40-page publication chronicles the origins and achievements of ASU's Morrison Institute for Public Policy.

  • The Myth of Safe-Yield

    This analysis shows that Arizona continues on a path of unsustainable groundwater use that threatens the health and welfare of our state. It is not too late for a course correction, but that will require that Arizonans face the truth and make bold choices.

  • Survey: Statewide Perceptions of Independent Investigations of Officer-Involved Shootings

    To help policymakers understand statewide perceptions of independent investigations of officer-involved shootings, attitudes toward potential reforms, and support for funding of an independent investigatory agency, a multi-modal survey was conducted of Arizona residents.

For 40 years, Morrison Institute for Public Policy has served as Arizona's premier public policy research organization.

Our dedicated team of professional researchers excels at examining trends, policies and practices. 

We've worked with government agencies and nonprofits of all sizes and missions, including direct service organizations and foundations. Our team has been to every corner of Arizona. Over the years, we've learned that investing in research up front saves time, money and headaches later.

We want to help our partners determine what's happening, what's working elsewhere, what people think, and what may be improved. We see our work as a nonpartisan public service.

We conduct interviews, gather and analyze datasets, put polls into the field, assemble focus groups, and bring people together. Plus, we have all of the resources of the nation's most innovative research university at our fingertips.
