About Us
The Policy Research Institute for the Region (PRIOR) was established by Princeton University and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs to address the public policy issues facing New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The Institute reflects an understanding that these issues cut across not only state and municipal borders, but across academic disciplines. The Institute seeks to bring together the University's greatest resources – its faculty and students, its research expertise and commitment to public service – to help meet these challenges.
