NJSPL Survey: What Policy Issues Interest You Most?

October 7, 2024

The New Jersey State Policy Lab is pleased to announce the launch of our newest survey, which we invite you to complete.

This survey, which will take just a couple of minutes to complete, encourages respondents to indicate the policy issue or issues they believe should be highest priority for the state of New Jersey. This information will be aggregated to support the Policy Lab’s future research to inform public policies throughout New Jersey.

In the three years since the New Jersey State Policy Lab has been launched, we have produced a wealth of research related to a variety of policy subjects, including but not limited to education, housing, the environment, and the economy. As we have continued to develop our mission to deliver rigorous evidence-based research in the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies and programs serving the state and its many communities, we have continued to seek feedback on policy priorities to guide our planning.

We encourage all those interested in the important work that the Policy Lab is leading to please take a few minutes to fill out the survey today. Your feedback will be completely anonymous and greatly appreciated.
