MU is committed to increasing knowledge and understanding of issues facing Missourians through comprehensive research, analysis and program evaluation. MU policy researchers study both economic development policies and the effects of public policy on economic development. MU also provides research-based education on public policy issues.

The MU Office of Research sets standards for policies in procuring funding, conducting research, managing resources and working with human and animal subjects.
