Institute for Women's Policy Research

The Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR) is a non-profit research organization based in Washington, D.C.[2] Founded in 1987 by Heidi Hartmann,[3] IWPR works to increase public understanding of how social and government policies impede gender equality.

[4] The non-profit publishes policy research relating to gender gaps in education, work, poverty, health, and other topical areas.

[6] IWPR publishes reports, fact sheets, and briefing papers with women as the central point of analysis, using federal and state data sources.

[9] A 2019 IWPR released a report on a study funded by the March of Dimes Center for Social Science Research.

[15] The report identified institutional policies, student services, and campus characteristics that contribute to this sense of isolation.
