The mission of the International Policy Lab is to enhance the impact of MIT research on public policy, in order to best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.

Policy Lab support for qualifying faculty members includes (a) mentorship and advice from Policy Lab affiliated faculty and the Managing Director, (b) staff support, (c) logistical assistance, (d) formal communication training, and (e) modest grants to MIT researchers. In combination, this support helps MIT researchers to develop mutually beneficial, ongoing relationships with members of the policy community that complement and enhance, rather than distract from, scholarly research.
