The DCI is committed to supporting research on deliberation. It will systematically assess the effects of its own activities by tracking, analyzing and reporting on its inputs, processes, outputs, and outcomes.
The DCI will also support faculty and student research on the theory, history, and practice of deliberation in a range of different contexts. DCI mini-grants for faculty and students will be provided and workshops will be held to help catalyze such research.
