Research Centers & InstitutesFaculty and students in the Trachtenberg School benefit from participating in the research activities of institutes and centers that have a close affiliation with the school. The George Washington Institute of Public Policy The George Washington Institute of Public Policy (GWIPP) serves as a university-wide center for faculty and graduate students engaging in research on important public policy issues and concerns. GWIPP assists faculty throughout the university in preparing research proposals and budgets and managing projects once funded. GWIPP's staff and associated faculty and graduate students pursue a wide range of public policy research projects. Many of the GWIPP research faculty teach in the graduate programs of the Trachtenberg school as affiliated faculty, and Trachtenberg School graduate students have numerous opportunities to work as research assistants in GWIPP. Trachtenberg School faculty members are also actively involved in the research activities of GWIPP. For questions about GWIPP, please contact: Dr. Garry Young Center for Washington Area Studies The Center for Washington Area Studies (CWAS), which is a research center within GWIPP, was established in 1980 to bring the resources of The George Washington University to bear on the development of a fuller understanding of the Washington area as a locality, with its own history, politics, and culture, its own problems and opportunities. The Center is a regional studies institute, its purpose being to stimulate scholarly inquiry of a multidisciplinary nature into a broad range of matters relating to the national capital area.
