Can your research be trusted?
Each of our reports is fact-based and backed by easily verifiable sources. Occasionally, the appendix for one of our research papers will rival the length of the paper itself!

Does Center of the American Experiment have a political affiliation?
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Center of the American Experiment was created to educate the public on policy issues that impact them as individuals and our community as a whole.
