Our Mission


Through direct involvement with nonprofit organizations, local governments, and state/federal agencies, the Clinic advances innovations in governance that improves the quality of life in our region and the expertise of our students in public service where their careers take them.
  

Innovation Clinic at GSPIA

As a primary outreach arm of the Master's program in public administration and public policy, the Innovation Clinic facilitates activities through a wide array of applied projects, practical research, and lectures that utilize our students' talents and energies as the means of implementation. We are currently engaged in four fundamental areas of activity. They include: metropolitan/ regional governance and government projects; projects involving the Pennsylvania State Legislature and executive branch; projects with a federal and national prospective that utilize our Washington DC facilities; and projects involving the region's nonprofit/civic sector.
