The Evans Policy Innovation Collaborative (EPIC) is a policy lab that brings together researchers, practitioners, and the public to co-design actionable solutions to complex societal problems so that our public systems serve all individuals equitably and justly.
We apply insights from science and human-centered design methodology to policy and management challenges, helping organizations adapt to the needs of the communities they serve and embrace change.
In alignment with our new mission statement, purpose, and values, we are emphasizing work with partners that have a clear and articulated commitment to equity, both in how they work and in the projects they propose for collaboration with EPIC.
EPIC demonstrates the Evans School’s purpose – to inspire public policy and democratize public service. By centering the expertise of those impacted by proposed programs and policy ideas, we can translate the momentum of innovation into a democratic system worthy of trust.
