Diversity Jobs at MDRC

MDRC was founded in 1974 on the notion that high-quality research and evidence can play a vital role in reducing poverty and inequity in the United States. We hold true to that vision today.

A nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, MDRC conducts rigorous studies of programs and policies that affect people with low incomes, actively disseminates the lessons to policymakers and practitioners, and works directly with programs and agencies to help improve their effectiveness.

What We Do

Our diverse, interdisciplinary staff of researchers and former educators and program operators—supported by experts in finance, law, technology, human resources, and communications—work in communities across the country, in a wide range of domains, including pre-K to postsecondary education, criminal justice, housing, and job training.

Underlying all our work is a deep respect for the knowledge of on-the-ground program staff and individuals directly affected by the programs and policies we study.
