Research Directory
Research DirectoryResearch on AAPI communities is underwhelming, and even less is available to understand the AAPI electorate. Therefore, we invest in research that illuminates the AAPI electorate in critical geographies and provide support to ensure more robust data and analyses are available about the AAPI community.
Featured Report: AAPIs Connect: Harnessing Strategic Communications to Advance Civic Engagement
In 2020, we partnered with UCLA Center for Neighborhood Knowledge on a joint report to explore how best to support communications for AAPIs. The first step toward a longer-term effort, this report looks at the unique characteristics of the AAPI population influencing communications and community outreach, the strategies and practices being used by those working to reach AAPI audiences; and the current strategic communications capacity, needs, and priorities of groups working with AAPIs.
