Intl Poverty Solutions Collaborative

Launched in early 2010, the IPSC is comprised of over 80 faculty from 14 different colleges, students, private sector partners and community members. The mission of the International Poverty Solutions Collaborative (IPSC) is to identify holistic, culturally relevant solutions for individuals, families, and communities facing poverty and its consequences. We believe in convening teams of researchers, practitioners and community members to co-investigate the interrelations among economic, social, cultural, educational, health and political factors that impact people’s lives. We believe that interdisciplinary research is not only necessary to approach the complicated problem of poverty, but is a rewarding professional pursuit for the faculty, and a visible manifestation of the mission of our land-grant university.
