Working Groups

The Project includes 13 Working Groups, nine of which conduct research and analysis for the study, and four of which assist in developing and implementing recommendations. The activities of these working groups are coordinated and integrated by the PNSR staff. The working group leaders have assembled teams from public policy institutions, nonprofit organizations, universities, business and government.
