Overview
The R Street Institute is an innovative and pragmatic think tank based in Washington, D.C., that seeks to expand the domain of free markets. R Street advocates for "limited, effective government." Under the direction of co-founder and President Eli Lehrer, the institute plans to launch a new project exploring how Congress operates, including the mechanisms and processes that Congress uses to carry out its budget, tax, and appropriations functions and other legislative roles. This one-year project grant would enable R Street to assess, prioritize, and develop the issues it can address productively in this area, consistent with its focus on policy areas characterized as "high complexity and low saliency" in the eyes of the public.

for support of a free-market research project for birth control access and information
R Street Institute is a nonpartisan organization that engages in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government. This grant will support R Street to continue advancing a right-of-center case for deregulating birth control by allowing pharmacists to prescribe it directly to patients. R Street is providing intellectual and policy guidance to cultivate broader conservative support for birth control access, and is playing a key role in growing a left-right coalition around the topic. This grant is strongly aligned with our goals of reducing unnecessary barriers to reproductive health care and supporting a diverse advocacy ecosystem. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
