Overview
The American Enterprise Institute and the Center for American Progress are leading Washington think tanks working at the intersection of politics and policy. This grant would allow experts in demography and public opinion at both institutions to jointly assess likely trends and patterns of diversity in the U.S. population over the next several decades. These projections will have major implications for our political system and the polarization that is now so readily observable within it. Having experts from these two different institutions publicly project, discuss, and debate our nation’s evolving demographics will help illuminate the path forward—and pitfalls to avoid—for political leaders and policy advocates alike.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies research division
The American Enterprise Institute’s Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies research division was founded in 2019 to strengthen the health and integrity of America’s core institutions — both our political institutions and those upstream of politics that are essential to the flourishing of a free society. Its scholars are working to inspire the revitalization of these governing institutions, enabling them to effectively meet the demands of the 21st century, restore genuine representation, and reconnect the public with a better-functioning democracy that can move beyond hyperpartisan divides. This work is essential to restore public trust in American democracy in an age when too many have lost faith in America’s future.
