Fast Focus Policy Brief
Fast Focus is a policy brief designed for busy policymakers and practitioners who want a concise summary of a research study or policy innovation in straightforward language. Some Fast Focus briefs translate a single research study. Others synthesize broader research and policy themes and developments from IRP meetings, publications, and events.
