In the summer of 2016, Boise State University’s School of Public Service launched the Idaho Policy Institute (IPI) to embody the school’s vision of serving as a recognized and trusted resource for decision makers searching for effective solutions to pressing public concerns. The institute works in collaboration with nonprofits, local and state government, and private industry in Idaho and beyond. Its mission is to be an independent, non-partisan resource for decision-makers. For more information: https://www.boisestate.edu/sps-ipi/
