Our faculty and student researchers conduct policy analysis, strategic planning, community development, and program evaluation. The Government Research Bureau is committed to helping local and state governments serve their citizens to their best ability.
WHAT WE DO
Policy Analysis: evaluate policy alternatives in order to achieve a given set of goals. We can also analyze the outcomes of current policies and help to predict the outcomes of policy change.
Strategic Planning: create a vision for organizations by crafting a series of steps that will help achieve long-term success.
Community Development: help your community identify and achieve its goals.
Program Evaluation: set goals, create a program to achieve them and understand the degree to which those goals have been met.
HOW WE DO IT
Along with excellent faculty researchers, we hire students to apply their research skills to complete projects. Technical expertise and modern, innovative analysis tools are used to assist state and local officials in economic development and policy formation
WHY WE DO IT
The Government Research Bureau strives to support communities across South Dakota, and we also build a learning environment where students can participate in actual research.
