What We Do
CGS USA combines research, policy analysis, convening, publication, education, media, and institutional networks. Each format is designed for a particular audience and question, while all work is guided by independence, evidence, accessibility, and public purpose.
Research and Studies
We conduct and support research through policy studies, comparative analysis, surveys, interviews, and case studies.
Public Policy Analysis
We examine policy choices and institutional performance for policymakers, practitioners, and the public.
Seminars and Public Discussions
We organize seminars, lectures, and panel discussions that present research and encourage open debate.
Conferences
We convene national and international speakers to discuss regional and global policy questions.
Roundtables and Policy Dialogues
We host focused conversations that allow participants to compare views and clarify policy options. The event page identifies whether a session is public, on the record, not for attribution, or off the record.
Publications
We publish reports, policy briefs, working papers, explainers, commentary, and educational resources in print and digital form.
Education, Training, and Capacity Building
We offer workshops, training, research support, and mentoring for students, researchers, journalists, and professionals.
Media and Public Education
We use video, audio, interviews, newsletters, and accessible digital formats to bring research to wider audiences.
Networks and Partnerships
We support responsible cooperation among universities, think tanks, civil society, media, and communities working on shared questions.
Evidence, in formats people can use
Start with the evidence
Every format above ends in something you can read, attend, or cite.
