ABOUT JESSICA D. STRONG

My mission is to use research to inform policy, practice, and advocacy—and to ensure limited resources are used efficiently to improve lives. I’m a research leader with over a decade of experience designing and leading large-scale social research that translates data into actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and funders.I’ve co-authored publications and reports on family resilience, behavioral health, and employment, with findings that shaped national policy and philanthropic priorities. I’m passionate about evidence-based decision-making, public engagement, and partnerships that turn research into measurable impact. Whether strengthening families or evaluating global interventions, I’m driven by curiosity, truth-seeking, and a commitment to using rigorous evidence to do the most good.
