CGIR

The Center for Guaranteed Income Research (CGIR) was established in 2020 at the School of Social Policy and Practice at the University of Pennsylvania to develop a common body of knowledge on unconditional cash-transfers. CGIR conducts applied cash-transfer studies and pilot designs that add to the empirical scholarship on cash, economic mobility, poverty, and narrative change. Its investigations build on the existing literature of cash-transfers, as well as the evaluation practices and lessons learned from prior research on guaranteed income and the gender and racial wealth gap.
