In September 2014 ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy conducted the state’s first Citizens Initiative Review (CIR). MI invited 20 participants to deliberate for 3½ days over a pension reform measure on the city ballot to develop a factually vetted, one-page Citizens’ Statement with the pros and cons of the initiative. The goal of the CIR is to help other voters make a more informed decision on specific initiatives before going to the ballot box. This report, funded by the Kettering Foundation, analyzes CIR participant interviews conducted six weeks and six months later to show how values, beliefs, and behaviors towards democratic habits, public action, and community engagement may have been changed through their involvement, if at all. The report concludes with lessons learned and the contributions of the CIR to creating a more democratic Arizona.

At Morrison Institute for Public Policy, a research center within Arizona State University's Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, we combine academic rigor with the goal of informing real community change. That is why we were eager to collaborate with First Place AZ, the Autism Housing Network and The Daniel Jordan Fiddle Foundation. A Place in the World: Fueling Housing and Community Options for Adults with Autism and Other Neurodiversities is a shining example of rigorous research informed by and in service to the community. Morrison Institute collected and synthesized viewpoints and data to improve our understanding of residential options for adults with autism and other neurodiversities. This body of research provides information, tools and examples that housing developers, families and individuals can use to expand the number and range of residential options.
