Under her leadership, VPC has demonstrated a commitment to evidence-based policy, partnering with academics \u201cto conduct and publish randomized field experiments that answer theoretically and practically important questions on voter registration and turnout.\u201d This research has led to numerous top publications by various academics, including Journal of Politics and Political Science Research and Methods.\u00a0 She also led VPC to be a role model of \u201cwhat transparent social science looks like.\u201d As stated by one of her nominators, \u201cA very large share of the knowledge we have about what works to register and mobilize voters comes from collaborations between researchers and VPC, who have always strongly supported letting researchers publish whatever they find.\u201d As another nominator commented, \u201cVPC has been instrumental in shaping what academics, political campaigns, and the broader public know about ways to increase voter registration and turnout, especially among underrepresented groups.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Winner: Page Gardner; Voter Participation Center (VPC) Committee Members: Rebecca Wolfe (Chair), University of Chicago; Morgan Holmes, USAID; Adam Levine, Cornell University.
