Center For Urban Policy and the Environment Receives Grant

Lilly Endowment has awarded Indiana University $2 million over three years to support the Center for Urban Policy and the Environment at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis, according to the IUPUI News Bureau.

The Center for Urban Policy and the Environment is one of three research centers operating under the Public Policy Institute at IUPUI, which also includes the Center for Health Policy and the Center for Criminal Justice Research.

The Lilly Endowment grant, according to Krauss, will enable the center and the institute to advance their efforts to provide independent, original research and program development in such areas as housing, land use, government reform and economic development.
