Center for Data-Driven Policy
About
MITRE’s Center for Data-Driven Policy
The Center for Data-Driven Policy leverages insights, experiences, and empirical evidence gathered from the work of MITRE’s 9,000+ employees to help decision makers create policies that are evidence-based, actionable, and effective.
The Center draws upon the deep expertise gained from MITRE’s operation of six federally funded research and development centers to deliver recommendations on topics ranging from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity, transportation, space, acquisition, and IT modernization.
As a not-for-profit organization, MITRE does not engage in lobbying, has no shareholders, and does not compete with industry. Our reputation for excellence, combined with the Center’s data-driven focus, enables us to conduct thorough policy analysis free from political or commercial influences. This ensures that our technical findings and policy recommendations remain objective and reliable. The integration of MITRE's technical prowess with the Center's impartial approach makes us unique and highly valued in the federal policy community.
