Established by the Texas State Legislature in 1983 at Texas A&M University, the Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) serves as a leading interdisciplinary government and social policy research organization. Since inception, PPRI has secured external research contracts totaling $140 million for providing scientific research and evaluative services to more than 90 public and private sponsors engaged in formulating public policy. Social problems related to the areas of government, education, public health, substance abuse, workforce and employment, aging, and child and family well-being provide the substantive focus of PPRI’s work. Through the application of sophisticated research methods, PPRI successfully designs scientific projects that predict and evaluate the effectiveness of local, state, regional, national, and international programs and initiatives. Survey Research Lab - PPRI provides technical and research capabilities for all types of surveys. As an interdisciplinary unit at Texas A&M University, PPRI can assemble teams of researchers experienced in survey research methodology as well as specialized subject matter. The research group at PPRI has extensive experience in designing and conducting studies to answer research questions using a variety of survey data collection methods. In addition to telephone surveys, we have conducted field surveys of diverse populations in private homes, prisons, hospitals, and other locations.
