Our Coalition Partner, The Ramos Research Institute (RRI) has announced its Fall 2026 cohort of 19 undergraduate research interns from universities across the United States, who will contribute to a diverse portfolio of projects examining democracy, civic engagement, media literacy, institutional trust, artificial intelligence, climate action, and democratic resilience. Through hands-on research, policy analysis, and collaborative publication development, interns will help produce practical insights and publicly released resources for policymakers, civic organizations, and the wider public. The initiative reflects RRI’s commitment to developing the next generation of civic leaders and researchers while advancing evidence-based solutions to contemporary democratic challenges.
