Research Philosophy
Combatting Polarization Through Factual Policy Information
Everyone deserves access to policy information they can understand and trust. Our research is conducted in accordance with three core pillars: nonpartisanship, accessibility, and amplifying young voices.
Nonpartisanship
ACE’s research is driven by the primary goal to inform potential voters about federal, state, and local policies that might not otherwise receive unbiased coverage in national news. Our briefs are written to provide readers with objective details about key policies and coverage of multiple perspectives for and against those policies.
Accessibility
Clear information on pressing policies can be hard to find in today’s media landscape. While soundbites lack comprehensive detail, academic articles and congressional reports use jargon that risks alienating the everyday American. Our research intentionally breaks down key phrases and processes in short articles so our readers can stay informed without devoting hours of their time to reading and research.
Amplifying Young Voices
While today’s youth will certainly be impacted by the policies being implemented across the nation today, young people are often sidelined in professional policy spheres. ACE values the insights and passion that exceptional students bring to the field of policy research, and seeks to amplify their work on a national stage.
