The SPOTLIGHT Lab’s research and policy translation is built on deep collaboration with the public sector, service providers, academic institutions, and philanthropic organizations committed to strengthening public health and safety systems. We partner with the public sector, other academic institutions, and healthcare and social service providers to co-develop research questions that matter for policy and practice. We also work closely with frontline organizations to ensure that our work is grounded in and responsive to the lived realities of service delivery. Our work is generously supported by government and philanthropic funders who share our commitment to ethical, data-driven research in betterment of population health and public safety. These partners and funders make our efforts possible and impactful.
