The Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies (CCPS) serves scholars, students, policymakers and the public by propelling actionable research, providing public education and promoting a more reasonable democratic square. Since 1979, CCPS's faculty, research fellows, executives in residence and students have completed hundreds of research projects, which have been broadly听distributed as books, scientific research articles, popular press articles, video documentaries and audio stories. Many of these projects have enjoyed external support, totaling over $50 million. CCPS also publishes听Congress and the Presidency, and it administers four institutes: the听Campaign Management Institute,听the听Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute, the听European Public Affairs and Advocacy Institute, and the听Legislative Negotiation Institute.听Finally, CCPS has hosted over 350 public symposia and conferences that bring together policymakers, politicos, researchers, journalists, and other public intellectuals to contemplate pressing political and policy issues.
