Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research

For thirty years, the Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research, a nonprofit institution based in Boston, has offered fact-based research on how to achieve world-class schools, affordable healthcare, reliable public transit, an attractive economic climate, and accountable government. 

Our mission is to develop and communicate dynamic ideas that advance prosperity and a vibrant civic life in Massachusetts and beyond.

Our vision of success is a state and nation where our people can prosper and our society thrive because we enjoy world-class options in education, healthcare, transportation and economic opportunity, and where our government is limited, accountable and transparent. We value an America where our citizenry is well-educated and willing to test our beliefs based on facts and the free exchange of ideas, and committed to liberty, personal responsibility, and free enterprise.
