Global Inclusion.
The lab's international portfolio spans more than 170 countries. Our Special Olympics partnership is the anchor: longitudinal evaluation of unified sports, inclusive programming, and high-school completion — generating the global evidence base for what builds opportunity across radically different contexts.
“What builds opportunity in one country often doesn't in another. But the evidence design can travel — if you build it for travel from day one.”— RISEI Global Principle
