What We Do

As knowledgeable, trained issue-spotters, we help public health professionals and community groups identify legal and policy solutions that will advance their objectives as well as those that could impede their efforts. We help them understand regulations, access laws, develop policy and make sound, evidence-based decisions in order to significantly and positively impact the health of their communities.

Research and Analysis
The research reports, briefs, articles, toolkits, surveys and other resources we produce serve as valuable guides and applied tools for how to leverage laws and policies to advance health and health equity.

Strategic Consultation and Guidance
From disseminating best practices to designing action plans, the guidance we provide helps those working in public health and other sectors move forward with confidence to advance their initiatives. 

Knowledge Building and Training
Our conferences and meetings, webinars, trainings, workshops and presentations build the capacity of those working in public health and other sectors to better understand, know and use law and policy to drive change in their communities.

Support for Funders 
We help foundations and other funders understand how law and policy shape the issues they invest in, so they can spot opportunities, anticipate barriers, and direct resources where they will have the greatest impact.  Our funder briefings offer a focused look at emerging legal and policy trends affecting public health and health equity.
