PRA is committed to applied research and we respond to real-time threats and opportunities. We also take the long view, and invest in monitoring and trend research whose action application is some time off. Increasingly, in this moment of crisis for our democratic institutions, PRA is being called to broadly influence and inform the field of social justice advocates, funders, researchers, and public figures through dissemination of our research, strategic communications, and projects that address narrative change.
