The Center for Growth and Opportunity’s high-quality research is making an impact on public policy, much of it on topics that are important and are receiving too little attention everywhere else. Anyone seeking to have their research become more impactful should consider collaborating with the CGO.

Working with the Center for Growth and Opportunity was a pleasure. They provided insightful feedback during the writing process and a reasonable timeline to make for a thoughtful product. After the paper was complete, they were supportive in promoting my work and expanding its reach. I’m grateful to have had the chance to partner with them.
