A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability, including the issues, bills, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
Purdue's Global Policy Research Institute (GPRI) is the nexus where science, technology, and policy meet. GPRI’s mission is to enhance the visibility and impact of Purdue University's strengths in policy-related and multidisciplinary research, education, service, and outreach to inform decision-makers on global policy issues. GPRI is concentrating on the following seven critical global concerns:
Agriculture: Crop development, food security, safety;
Environment: Climate change, sustainability, water, air and arable land;
Energy Systems: Alternative sources, delivery, efficiencies;
Economy: Global commerce, development;
Health: Health care engineering, disease, drug research;
Security: Defense; space, cybertechnology;
Society and Leadership: Family, governance, community resilience.
GPRI’s continuing policy advocacy efforts include the following:
Incentivize faculty in policy making - over $480,000 has been awarded to Purdue researchers in 18 different policy related projects;
Stage global issues 'salons' in California, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Washington, D.C. to raise awareness of the leadership role Purdue can play in advancing research knowledge and policy solutions;
Educate Purdue students to be policy savvy and globally and culturally aware through the Seminar in Global Policy Issues Course offered during the spring semester, and through policy-related summer internships;
Host campus events including "grand challenge" conferences and distinguished lectures that provide understanding of the connections between global headlines and policy developments.
