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.

Climate change. Social injustice. Health inequities. Disinformation. Just a few areas where good policy is as vital as advanced technology. The Center for Data-Driven Policy provides nonpartisan, evidence-based insights on critical national priorities.

- [Narrator] From Capitol Hill to the White House,
policy makers and lawmakers are faced with
cutting through a chorus of voices, identifying
workable ideas, and turning them into actionable policies.
The mission of Mitre's Center for Data-Driven Policy
is to expand the role of evidence-based research
and information in the development of policy.
We are nonpartisan, we don't take political positions.
We draw on Mitre's deep technical expertise
and systems thinking capabilities,
and from Mitre's own labs and independent research programs.
Through public/private partnerships,
and federally funded R&D centers,
Mitre tackles challenges to the safety,
stability, and well-being of our nation.
The Center for Data-Driven Policy
translates those insights to the policy domain,
providing experience-based recommendations
to support outcome-based, equitable,
and measurable policy solutions.
We partner with government, industry,
universities, think tanks, and nonprofits,
addressing problems like protecting the integrity
of our elections, fighting financial fraud
and reducing improper payments,
ensuring ethics and fairness in government use
of artificial intelligence, and sharing data
and insights on the coronavirus to inform decision makers.
We're the Center for Data-Driven Policy.
