Policy Briefs aim to bridge research and practice in an easily readable and digestible format.

UCTC mails out hard copies of each policy brief to a select mailing list, targeting practitioners whom we believe will find the brief of particular interest. Anyone can email us to request hard copies, as long as supplies last.
