About CPR

The Center for Progressive Reform (home page) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and educational organization with a network of Member Scholars working to protect health, safety, and the environment through analysis and commentary.

CPR’s core issue areas are health, safety and the environment. Member Scholars’ work in this area touches on such topics as:

• Protecting the environment (including climate change, clean air and water, enforcement issues, environmental justice, toxics, the next generation of environmental policies, natural resources, wildlife and nature);
• Defending clean science from political or corporate interference;
• Ensuring food and drug safety;
• Excessive secrecy in government (focused on areas affecting health, safety and the environment);
• Regulatory Policy (including cost-benefit analysis, risk assessment and various tools for weighing the merits of protective regulation); and
• Corporate accountability and tort reform (including federal preemption of state tort laws).

CPR has more than 50 Member Scholars around the nation, working academics teaching at colleges and universities. They represent diverse research agendas, areas of expertise, and geographic location. CPR Member Scholars do much of their work through CPR's Issue Groups.
