Summer 2020-Data Analysis Intern

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) is one of the nation’s leading nonprofits working on public policy issues affecting low-income families and individuals. It has a national reputation for conducting rigorous research and analysis, developing policy ideas and strategies, shaping a broad array of policy debates at the federal and state levels, and influencing policy outcomes. It works on budget and tax policy, health care, and a range of programs important to low-income people. The Center’s funding comes from private foundations and individuals.

The Center’s Data Analysis team works with a group of skilled national policy analysts on a range of policy issues and research topics affecting lower-income families and individuals in the United States. Topics may include the implications of policy choices affecting cash assistance, taxation and tax credits, food assistance, housing programs, and health programs, as well as income trends, the causes and consequences of poverty, and techniques of poverty measurement. The Data Analysis team collects, prepares, and summarizes data and academic research; develops graphics and written presentations of findings; and examines pending legislative and policy options.
