The Research-to-Policy Collaboration (RPC) is a pioneering brand that bridges the gap between research and policy. They prioritize partnerships between researchers and legislative staff, with a mission to enhance the use of research evidence in policy-making. Their approach is non-partisan, focused on fostering trusting collaborations to ensure the effective implementation of empirical evidence in decision-making processes. RPC believes in working within existing policy priorities, valuing the methodologies informed by research evidence that promote wellbeing.

Rather than taking explicit stances on specific policies, they adopt an educational approach by synthesizing literature related to policies. Their aim is to provide comprehensive information without endorsing any one strategy over another. By engaging equally with different political parties and issues with bipartisan support, RPC maintains a non-partisan approach, fostering collegial relationships and trust across political boundaries. Funding for RPC is obtained from philanthropic and scientific foundations, federal research grants, and support from research institutions or centers.

They refuse funding from special interest groups or partisan entities, ensuring their independence and agenda-neutral support for policymakers.
