Empowering Change Through Research and Strategy
Empowering Change Through Research and Strategy
At the Research and Strategy Group (RSG), our mission is to empower mission-driven organizations with the tools, insights, and strategies needed to tackle society’s most complex challenges. As a non-profit, student-led consulting group based at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, we combine academic rigor with a deep commitment to public service.
We believe that smart policy, clear strategy, and grounded research can drive lasting impact — and that students can play a meaningful role in shaping that future.
