Our Mission and Vision
Upcoming Events
Research Working Group
Second Thursday of the month | 11a-12p PT
The Research Working Group is a space to explore emerging research questions related to racial disparities, legal decision-making, measurement, and RJA implementation. We use the group to share ideas, develop collaborations, discuss ongoing projects, and identify opportunities where research can support practitioners and advance the field. We meet at 11:00am PT on the second Thursday of each month for open discussion and research exchange. Whether you’re actively conducting research, looking for collaborators, or interested in learning about new developments in the field, we’re glad you’re here and look forward to the conversation.
Data Working Group
Last Friday of the month | 9a-10a PT
The Data Working Group focuses on the practical challenges of RJA analysis, including data access, data quality, standardization, methodology, and the development of shared tools and resources. Our goal is to help reduce duplication of effort, improve consistency, and make high-quality analysis more accessible across jurisdictions. We meet at 9:00am PT on the last Friday of each month to discuss ongoing projects, common data challenges, and opportunities for collaboration. This is a space where to share expertise, learn from others, and contribute to collective resources.
Ready Response Office Hours
Every Other Thursday | 12pm PST
Ready Response Office Hours focus on social science research and statistical best practices. They are an accessible, informal way to get feedback on how to formulate a statistically valid claim of racial disparity. All questions are welcomed – one-on-one consultations available in breakout sessions.
