Frameworks Institute

Human rights, services and justice: Frameworks undertakes multiple projects in the areas of human rights, services, and justice. Researchers study how nonprofit organizations can help the public understand the criminal justice system and the need to reform it in the u.s., brazil, the netherlands, and the united kingdom. Frameworks has partnered with several global organizations to communicate the value of peace and peacebuilding as foreign policy strategies. Additionally, the Institute has conducted research in the u.s. and the united kingdom on affordable housing.

Economy and equality - as income inequality continues to rise, people are paying more attention to its effects on the country's social, economic, and political systems. Discussions about ways to alleviate poverty, reduce inequity, promote economic mobility, and redefining the future of work are permeating policy circles, the media, and scholarly publications and Frameworks is actively engaged in research in all these areas.

Health: Frameworks' research has taken place on a wide variety of issue areas, including children's mental and oral health, tobacco-related health disparities, social determinants of health, the intersection of public health and other sectors, community health, environmental health, health care, and public health informatics. Especially notable is our work on health equity in the us and uk and on framing vaccines, including ongoing multi-year research into the ways in which mindsets around these issues have changed and continue to change over time.
