Data Science and Public Policy @ CMU

Data Science and Public Policy at CMU has the mission to further the use of data science/ML/AI in public policy research and practice. Our work includes educating current and future policymakers, doing data science projects with government, nonprofit, academic, and foundation partners, and developing new methods and open-source tools that support and extend the use of data science for public policy and social impact. Our team is made up of data scientists and researchers from computer science, statistics, and social science backgrounds to bring in methods from all of these disciplines, software engineers to make sure our work becomes usable code and implemented, topic and policy experts to provide context and relevance, and project managers who help get things done.
