About us
The San Diego Regional Policy & Innovation Center (PIC) is a 501C3 organization that exists to conduct research and policy analysis and help solve the region’s biggest problems. Its founding partners include the San Diego Foundation, the County of San Diego, and the world’s leading think tank – The Brookings Institution. Since launching in August 2021, PIC has been on a mission to break down silos and build strong working relationships among San Diego regional leaders, government agencies, municipalities, and other community stakeholders. By doing so, PIC cultivates cross-sector, multi-jurisdictional collaborations focused on developing effective, research-informed solutions to key issues in the region and securing the federal and state funding needed to implement those solutions. PIC concentrates on four main areas: - Climate Resiliency: Taking action to mitigate and adapt to climate change - Housing: Increasing the quality and quantity of available housing to improve access and affordability - Community Wealth: Building power and prosperity in historically disinvested communities - Infrastructure: Increasing and leveraging improved materials, technologies and services that have measurable benefits for public good Over the next few years, PIC will continue building strong and diverse partnerships among the leaders of the region; use equity-centered research to identify the region’s biggest needs, and the best opportunities for change, and secure funding for potential solutions; challenge systemic inequities; and develop a pipeline of potential scalable projects and pilots that improve the lives of San Diegans.

Recently, PIC’s Dr. Karen Boyd and Alicia L. Jurek, Ph.D. presented new research at the annual meeting for the American Society of Criminology. They studied police organization structures and the adoption of predictive policing technologies. Their findings showed the need for greater transparency and fairness in the use of these tools, especially their impact on marginalized communities.

Our colleagues at The Brookings Institution, Joe Kane and Adie Tomer, dove into the finances of equitable adaptation for transportation and water systems. In partnership with the Brookings Metro team, PIC analyzes climate risks in San Diego County and shares their findings with government agencies and environmental organizations.

PIC conducted research for the City of Chula Vista and Southwestern Community College District, focusing on the academic disciplines that would attract binational higher education partners to Chula Vista’s University Innovation District. The City of Chula Vista and Southwestern College recently announced the new disciplines and programs at a press conference. Described as a “roadmap” for creating a four-year university, the study explored new ways to expand higher education and workforce opportunities in South County. PIC’s research determined that nine academic programs would benefit the region, including engineering, public policy and film and media arts. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gUqaHf3W
