Center for Data-Driven Policy

Tangible, measurable, and innovative ideas to inform public policy

MITRE’s Center for Data-Driven Policy brings objective, evidence-based, nonpartisan insights to government policymaking. As a not-for-profit organization, we work in the public interest across the federal government, and in partnership with industry and academia. We bring innovative ideas into existence in areas as varied as artificial intelligence, intuitive data science, quantum information science, health informatics, space security, economic and public policy, trustworthy autonomy, cyber threat sharing, and cyber resilience.

The Center for Data-Driven Policy leverages MITRE’s experts to examine policy issues on a wide range of topics, generally falling in four cross-cutting domains: national security, science and technology, cyber, and domestic policy. We apply our unique vantage point working across government and with our federal R&D centers to create objective analysis on current government affairs. We share this information with federal policymakers on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch. 

The Center for Data-Driven Policy is a resource for government, universities, think tanks, and other organizations to draw on for evidence- and experiential-based insights on policy priorities
